Recent coyote attacks on small dogs prompting the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to meet with residents in Wilton Manors. Biologist Jayne Johnston says coyotes have been spotted in all 67 Florida counties, so you need to learn how to deal with them. She says you need to make noise to get them to run away by waiving your arms and stomping your feet. Coyotes rarely attack humans, but they do attack dogs, so she says you need to walk them close to you on the leash and secure your trash.
