What is a 'fiest'? Is that some kind of pocket dog?

I looked up Fiest and it said it was a type of rat terrier.

M1A, is the dog a rat terrier?

a few nights ago my little yard fiest was barking her head off as usual. just doing her job keeping beavers and skunks at bay etc. then i heard a scream accompanied by multiple yelps. i took off out the door, keeping my house dogs inside, and saw two coyotes chewing on the little girl. they ran when they saw me but she was already messed up real bad. my big yard dogs were off roaming as they often do at night so the little fiest was home alone.

my question is this.................. do you think they were going to eat her or were they just killing for spite/competition purposes?

Every intention of eating her.

You shouldn't allow the little dog out where they can get her unless the big house dog is with her.

I had a Silky which escaped Coyote death twice.
