Rottweiler saves Chi-Weenie from Coyote

[jhood001]

Saw this and it kind of made my day so I thought I would share.

Coyote grabs a small dog (Chihuahua + Weiner Dog? No idea) and starts to move out with his lunch when a neighbor's Rottweiler decides he's not letting his little homie go out like that.

My Rott had a hatred of coyotes too.

My wife is always worried about our dog (and our last dog) with the coyotes in our neighborhood here. Granted, they are some trophy coyotes, absolutely gigantic (at least 30-40% bigger than any I have bagged out hunting). But they still aren't going to win against an 80lb boxer/lab mix unless they bring a big old pack. I've only ever seen one or two, and while they do dig/climb fences, between the fence and the size difference, I'd expect to find a dead coyote or two if they ever breached his perimeter. That or I'd hear the scuffle and definitely have a dead coyote or two with a few extra holes in them.

Now wolves... those bitches are a completely different story. Luckily we don't get them here in town.

Also, at the end of that clip, it looks like the rottie is gaining on that 'yote. That may have been the last lunch that boy ever tried to catch.

Nice save by the Rottie!

That coyote was fast on the attack!

GOOD PUP!
That rotty wasn't playing around. I had an Akita Rotty mix that was fiercely protective of my shep rotty mix.

I think the ones around town are inbred....the ones I'd see in Aurora were huge and ragged looking too, but generally only 2-3 roaming together.

Cool video.

Cool vid. My dogs (and my wife's quick thinking) saved my wife and daughter from a coyote attack a couple months ago. She was walking the dogs (we have 5) with her little sister and our daughter and a coyote started to stalk them in our neighborhood, near a green belt that runs through it. Her sister saw the yote first, told my wife, and she charged at the yote with our 2 pits and started screaming at it. The bastard took off as soon as she started charging it with the pits in tow.
