I live in a town where it is illegal for a dog to be off leash. One morning I was walking my Beagle when I saw what I thought was a dog off leash. A closer look and I realized it was not a dog off leash; it was a coyote! I called Animal Control and was told that they didn't pick up Coyotes but that I should not approach one or run from one. Their advice was if I should be facing a coyote, don't move but make yourself look as big as possible. They also advised that I should take my dog inside the house.
