The chihuahua was running away and then got confident when the owner had the coyote upside down 😂

I’d bet a whole donut that the Chihuahua started that confrontation. 😅
All while wearing a robe and slippers. Robe and slippers, the new superhero costume.

You definitely have no knowledge in regards to canine anatomy. When you pull a dog's tail, especially when you're dangling it with it's own tail. It's in a lot of pain, and paralyzes them for a few moments. Similar to cats

The vest is mostly for hawks not coyotes
The coyote felt completely defeated when it was being held by the tail.
He grabbed the coyote by the tail like he's done that before.🤣
That coyote made a bad life decision.
Reminds me of the man that put an alligator in his trash bin.

Uh, a kevlar vest would allow a handler to avoid getting clawed. I think? A restrained canid will start kicking for your stomach. Biteproof gloves are way more effective though. The greatest danger is to your hands and arms.

This was correct coyote size. Most urban coyotes are mixed with domestic dog, so they tend to be bigger (they’re also usually fluffier, with smaller ears and heavier skull structure). This looked like a young, maybe female? urban coyote.

@@TuffEnuffIIIIt is 100% fatal, but only once symptoms begin, which is usually within 10-21 days but could happen months or even years down the line. The virus travels through the nervous system toward the brain to evade detection by the immune system, and the physical distance between the bite site and the brain plays a key factor in determining how long it takes to become symptomatic. Doctors will give you injections of immunoglobulin on the day of the bite to even better safeguard against the virus and allow the vaccine - which is given in four doses over two weeks - to take full effect and provide lasting protection. One only needs one injection of vaccine if another potential exposure happens past the six-year mark. And in case anyone is wondering, rabies shots aren't given in the stomach anymore. Now, they are given around the site of the bite and in the shoulders and legs. Also, insurance covers the cost of the shots.
Why would you put it in the bin for god's sake? Maybe you should get a dog instead of something that looks like a rat with a pink dog coat on or something as ridiculous
