Heartbreaking. Thank you for the information and for what you do. Bear’s family will at least have closure. As the dog mom of two small dogs, my heart breaks for them.
James, this information is valuable. I did not know this was a standard coyote behavior. I do know that coyotes will try and attract a dog to chase them. The ones that take chase because they are guarding their property or people. Are an easy target for the coyotes. The ones that are curious or wanting to play are a little tougher. As some people have told me. Their dog will only go so far off of their property. Before they come back. Which I question in my mind. Because your many years of evidence. And the fact that I have yet to be part of a lost dog search that the dog was found any closer than at least 1/4 mile away from home. I am hoping I never have to experience this type of event.
My jaw is dropping reading this and seeing the pictures. 😦Thank you for the very special post and the education. I hope the family truly believes it was a quick no suffering ending for Bear, so they can find some comfort in the pains.

This was tragic. Thank you for educating us on coyote behavior. I feel it is always best to be informed. Thank you for all that you do James.
This is fascinating. Thank you for sharing, and for giving Bear’s family the invaluable gift of closure.
Thank you for this post, James, and thank you for helping Bear's family.
