I love the picture of the Coyote as if he just ate and concurred his prey.

I've seen coyotes in Warrenville since I moved there in 1999 - as many as 5 at a time. People just have to be smart and always be with their dogs. We know the coyotes are out there. Why leave a small dog out alone at midnight?

Coyotes are great for keeping the critters down in the backyard. Thanks Mr. Coyote!

I agree, J. Bishop. The city has done so much to attempt to educate citizens about this. Apparently, some of these citizens have no listening and/or follow-through skills so.......The really sad part is that some even have the nerve to try to blame, even sue the city, despite what they have been told, numerous times!!

Hey! A coyote that fetches! "She said animal control officers arrived when the coyote brought Sugar's body to the yard." She lets a 13 yr old dog out after midnight where she saw Coyotes hanging out earlier and attractively named the dog dessert, oops, I mean Sugar.

I saw a coyote while showing a house in Glen Ellyn. When we stepped in the back yard we saw the coyote running away. The street was Arnold and it ws close to Bloomingdale and St. Charles Rd.

Well, Boo-Hoo! The coyote was in its natural habitat, the yap dog was an intruder and if the yap dog hadn't been yapping, it wouldn't have attracted the coyote. Good riddance!

It's not the coyotes fault. Small dogs like that are seen the same as rabbits. They are prey. It is your responsibility to supervise your dog, especially at night. If your dog is not big enough or capable of defending itself against a coyote you should not let it out unsupervised. I live in Warrenville and have seen coyotes around 4 times. They are extremely skiddish and I've only seen them when it's extremely quiet outside. If you see one anywhere near you all you really need to do is raise your voice and they will run.

It was not after midnight and the coyote appeared after attacking my dog and killing it. I got it back from the coyote. Pretty disrespectful people. I live in a residential area. My dayghter could read your ignorant self righteous posts and be pretty upset that people like you all are so rude in these situations. I let my dog out the same time for 5 years. Educate yourselves they should not be attacking dogs. The coyote stayed in my yard hours after I made it drop my dead dog and got her back. So no - they don't just run away. Officers claimed it was the largest they have seen.

First, I am very sorry for your loss! With all due respect, if you study the history in Wheaton you will see that the city now is doing exactly what the best coyote experts in the country recommend. (Thank you Mayor Gresk!!) Sadly, actions that may have worked long ago no longer do so, listening and following through on the cities advice is the only solution. They have been telling people for years now-and not subtly, that watching your pets is essential. (After all, pets can be bitten by snakes, attacked by another dog, etc.)

I am so sorry to hear about the coyote attack. I live in Bolingbrook west of Weber on Boughton and we have been seeing lots of coyotes frequently in the early morning hours. The neighbor across the stree had them get in her backyard even tho she had a fence. Please people stay with your dogs outside and do not let them get too far away from you. Mo
