Aggressive coyote was stalking your large black lab in Redstone this morning

A notice to the dog’s owner but also anyone else who uses the Louie Joe. A home owner woke up to what sounded like dogs fighting in front of her house in upper Redstone, close to the bottom of the Louie Joe trail.

A sturdy looking black lab with a light on its back was attempting to walk away from a coyote. He would turn, chase the coyote, begin to walk away and the coyote would go for his back legs. He wasn’t actually getting bit although he seemed quite frustrated. This went on for about 10 mins until the coyote gave up.

It appeared to be hunting behavior against a large sturdy dog. A smaller/older dog (or kid?) wouldn’t have had a chance
