Newton's apparently seen a recent uptick in coyote and fox encounters---so much so that the sign at right (via Newton Patch, photo by Charlie Breitrose) was posted at a Newton intersection earlier this week.According to the accompanying Patch article, local reaction's been... SOP for cases of coyote/human/pet contact. Pets have been killed, residents are concerned.
The story does however offer some useful canine profiling:
Good (normal) Coyote: attacks and kills smaller animals, aka cats & little dogs.
Bad (potentially rabid) Coyote: follows humans home.
Here, again, is the full Newton Patch story.
