It would feel like I lost a member of my own family. Most pet owners love their pets unconditionally,so any loss is very painful..I used to live in Woodbridge,CT and since it was a wooded area we did have to be careful of coyotes.
I was careful letting my dog out at dawn and dusk,when a coyete would be looking for food. I never let her out at night alone. One of my some neighbors lost their cat that way. Other neighbors put up a coyote fence to protect their little dogs.
My heart goes out to anyone who loses a pet.
