What would you have done?

Coyotes typically stall one time then they’re in the next zip code. You don’t usually get a “better shot”

Wouldn't have done a thing different. Primary objective was to save the dog from harm, not kill the coyote.

Yes, that was my driving consideration. I can’t say for certain that the coyote would have attacked the puppy, but I wasn’t going to take that chance. If Connie had been closer, I wouldn’t have been as concerned for the puppy (Connie is half Grand Pyrenees and half bird dog. She would absolutely destroy a coyote). The sad stories of people who actually had dogs attacked by coyotes have made me feel better about stepping from hunting mode to defense of others mode.

Yep I’m shooting. Even if it doesn’t kill your dog just the long term affects to a puppies thinking . They get attacked you could have a dog aggression to deal with.

Same thing, maybe waited, but probably same thing. Those things get no respect here, just bullets.
