Mu searched for a little dog in Mill Creek, named Kobe. I advised that we were unlikely to find the dog, but we were asked to try anyway. The four pound dog had disappeared at 5:15 in the morning, when the owner let him out for just a minute and went back in to get a cup of coffee. A camera across the street shows two dogs walking away from the house, but only one dog coming back a minute later. Mu found coyote scat in the yard of the missing dog, but no evidence of the attack. At four pounds, I wouldn’t expect much evidence to be left, if there had been an attack. This house is near a power line corridor, and Mu and I found coyote scat when we searched for a lost cat 18 months earlier. At the time, the coyote scat showed the coyote had eaten one white cat and one grey cat. Our search on this day revealed coyote scat with the fur of a white cat, but we didn’t find any sign of the lost little dog. It was raining lightly. Mu seemed anxious to leave after we had been working a couple of hours, I don’t know why. We found a lot of evidence of coyote activity, including the remains of lots of rabbits. I wouldn’t think that would bother Mu. There may have been yellow jackets around, but I didn’t see any.
