My two dogs got out last night 55-60 lbs one older - would coyote go after?

Hang in there, OP. It’s great they are chipped.

OP, they are bigger than most coyotes and maybe they are huddled somewhere hiding to keep warm.

City people OP, ignore these posts. A coyote is not going to go after a 50+ pound dog. You can let that fear go. I would worry about cars. Keep calling shelters. Hope they find their way home.

Oh stop it. A coyote isn’t going after a large dog. A wolf would. But not a coyote.

OP do not give up hope. Call shelters, post on your local list servs, get the word out on FB etc.

As a city person I already said this so you can stop with your eye roll. Not helpful and pretty unnecessarily snarky.

Sounds very strange, are you sure they weren’t taken?

Do you live in a neighborhood or an area with a lot of land? Do they get out often?

Farmer here, coyote would be my last worry. Cars, yes.

Search FB for your city Lost and Found Pets groups. My area has such a group with tens of thousands of participants. They are much better than the Humane Society at reuniting pets.

Glad your dogs are safe.

Coyote do hunt in pairs and will lure a larger dog. Learned this when two coyotes stalked my Doberman and would have taken him down had I not been present.
