Scale

The only reason I posted this photo is for purposes of scale.  It would appear that the digital images of the coyote from yesterday's post correspond nicely with this image.  Same camera and same location - taken one day apart.

The yote is about the same size as our blonde Lab.

Taken earlier you can see in this photo that the black Lab is a tad bigger and bulkier than the predator.

That said - now you know why I never walk the dogs off lead without a sidearm strapped to my hip.
