And it sounds like I wouldn't have to outrun anything - except my dog, who would make a nice meal or protect me, whichever suits the fancy of the predator.

Leave them alone and they will leave you alone. <br /><br />Mountain Lions on the other hand are dangerous and big. Though most of the horrific Mountain Lion attacks you hear about are of the LONE hiker or runner who is stalked (during daylight) and ultimately attacked as prey. Since these attacks are during daylight usually the animal is starving or ill - because the norm for them is to hunt at night. Walking a dog at night I think would be the safest as Mountain Lions wouldn't want to take on two targets at once. <br /><br />Coyotes are active day and night. Coyotes are opportunity hunters - birds, ground squirrels, etc. As long as your dog isn't one of those ankle-biters (small) and by itself (an easy target for a coyote), the coyote will go after an easier meal.<br /><br />So to make a short answer even longer - you have nothing to fear walking your dog at night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
