Watch those dogs outdoors. My son lives in N. Ft. Myers, Fl and left his little dog out at 4 a.m. when he got up, heard a loud squeal. After hours of hunting for it, he found it half chewed up - guess what? A coyote. He had to call Animal Control. It was a black and white Pompeon. I don't believe I am spelling it right - it means butterfly. He thought maybe a snake or gater. They really miss it because it really left you know if something or someone was around.
