The iconic Central and North American Canis latrans (Coyote) ranges from Panama in the south, throughout Mexico and the United States, and most of Canada.

That covers jungle, subtropical, montane, temperate forest, low, medium, and high desert,prairie, and even urban environs. They have proven to be quite adaptable; yet not easily tamed, even when raised from birth. They've been occasionally spotted in New York's Central Park, and one even quietly entered a Quizno's sandwich shop during the lunch hour in the Chicago Loop district in 2007.

They want the dog to follow them, one dog did and the coyote stayed just ahead. The moment they got behind a bush, five coyotes jumped the dog, torn it to pieces, and ate it. they are specializing in hunting pets, to answer your question, yes.
