Not chased by a wolf :-)

... but by a coyote.

The rather detailed Wikipedia article says :

"They may occasionally assemble in small packs, but generally hunt alone."

Okay. Good that my event was the higher probability one. The picture matches with my 'dog' yesterday. As I am confirmed ...

"Sightings now commonly occur in California, Oregon, New England, and eastern Canada."


"They (researchers) found a clear pattern of behavioral changes in coyotes in the lead-up to attacks, including increased sightings around homes (an indication that the coyote has lost its fear of people) and predatory interactions (e.g. attacks on pets during daylight, chasing of joggers and bicyclists, and stalking of children's play areas."

yay! I am not alone!
