Not sure where this belongs...
Quite a run this afternoon. This guy had a little "purse-dog" of some sort, and let it off the leash just as I run by him. WTF? The dog chases me for a bit, snapping at my heels. Then out of the bushes jumps a coyote that promptly snatches up the little dog, and then disappears back into the bushes.
It all happened so fast, I just kept going, wondering "wow, did that really just happen?"
Taking your little dog off the leash on wilderness-kinda trails might not be the brightest thing to do.
