When I lived in Oceanside, Ca., we had 'yotes in the yard and they were brazen enough to walk down the street. The houses were further apart than your neighborhood, but still..... Cats left out at night weren't safe, but at that time, no dogs were taken. A few years later a friend had a very friendly, docile (when he was home) pit bull. You didn't want to go in the yard when they weren't home. She was killed by a pack of 'yotes when he and his wife were at work and she was in their fenced yard. He lived in Fallbrook, Ca.


Last summer one night about 11.30 pm after we had came to the farm after a long day of harvest. There was a yote that walked within 100 feet of us. He glanced at us and froze for a second and then continued walking on like it was nothing.

Packs of yotes tend to gang up on dogs and kill them if they have the chance. A friend of mine had their Border Collie killed by a pack. But my uncle who lives in the same section, he has a Great White Pyrenees. He has no problems with his dog getting hurt or anything.
