The problem was that bulldogs aren't fast as you can imagine, and initially her dog ran, but when cornered, turned and became horrendously vicious looking and aggressive with a giant mouth, which made the coyote think twice and take off with a snapping red eyed beast chasing it as best it could.

Ive seen that same dog knock down far larger golden retrievers and such at dog parks in pursuit of tennis balls. I guess it pays to weigh and move like 3 bowling balls right next to the ground. Center of gravity seems to be a big advantage in some of these dog fights


isnt a fox closer to a cat in origin? sure seems cat like the way they run

Great story Drop! I wish you had it on video!

Yes, I think a Fox is indeed a Feline, but I would have to check.

Edit: Woops! A quick google shows a Fox to be a canine. I stand corrected.
