Q. Describe your coyote encounter
A. Prairie East Park, June 20 about 6:30 am. Spouse was walking our shepherd mix dog in the open area. Coyote came out of the woods surrounding the nearby pond and followed at about 30 feet of distance as my spouse and our dog were slowly walking away. The coyote eventually turned back. Seemed habituated and to be sizing up our dog.
