Some SOB abandoned a dog at my place

We just caught and released black snakes into the hay barn to control mice.  

I used think coyotes must be the meanest creatures on earth, whenever we had a stray that was not destined to stay, and just didn't take the hints, dad would take a shot gun and the dog and go coyote hunting. Dogs never came back from coyote hunts.  Was years before I figured out what was happening.

My Dad took them "To The Farm" when I was real little. Never figured that on out till I was a bit older

Maybe your Dad  was the one dumping them on my Farm.

Coyotes get alot of cats in my neighborhood.  I have them on game cameras to show my neighbors.  They never realized that coyotes come that close to houses.

No the Farm was a euphamism for put down. Easier on a child to deal with.. Beside that would have been a long trip from NJ.

Agreed.. Coyotes love to coax the family pet out where they can get attacked by the pack.

Got a call today from the investigator. He asked me to send the video, which I did but they also said someone locally posted the video on Face Book/Social Media but he wasn't sure that was the same.

I also had a friend stop by and check for the dog (wasn't there) but he did say they put a pile of dog food behind the shop which was all soaked and swollen from the rain.

I also told the investigator that I spoke to the Humane Society and I had asked them if they had just homed a dog with the description I provided and they said no but they had someone scheduled 12 weeks out to bring one in that matched the description. I thought maybe they didn't want to wait that long and just dumped them at my place knowing its nearby the shelter. 

The investigator said yup that's a good possibility because the shelter now has cameras and it stopped people from dumping them there. He also said he would talk to the shelter and get the info of the people and check it out...He said if they have the matching truck in the video they are going to have some explaining to do.

Google up dogs used for coyote hunting.  I saw a hunting show that used dogs to lure in yotes.  They would miss a shot and the totes would still come back to the dogs.

I have never been coyote hunting. Have had near opportunities from my tree stand. Bow hunting. Just not close enough or saw them too late. Got a 6.8 all ready to play. Just have not had the toys to lure them in. When I eventually do I’ll probably just try a rabbit call.

These guys just brought their dogs and the dogs would get all hyped up when they sensed the presence of the yotes and would call in the yotes.

I think the little dog was found and because of the video has been adopted and is being taken care of.

Lets hope so!!!! .....Ring Central to the rescue. If its true its the best expense invested in the new place...
I'll follow up when I hear back from the detective or I think her name is Deb at the shelter.
