How Safe are Coyotes?

Thanks very much for your comments regarding personal safety and coyotes, Dylan. I especially loved the graphically powerful poster you presented about risk. I wonder if you could comment on the risks of small pets like my Daisy, a 15 pound fast runner of a dog. I’ve been seeing so many rabbits in town since the spike in population a couple of summers back when we had significant rainfall straight through to mid-August. That weather phenomenon has left a bounty of snacks for the coyote population. My concern is that my little fast-running doggie gets mistaken for a cheeseburger. No doubt cat owners have similar fears. Do we know if coyotes consume our loved ones?
