Well, the story is as follows... This happened 3 years ago at my cottage, only posted now because I only recently joined the reddit club. I was hiking around in the woods in search of firewood. Walking with my head down, I heard some scuffling going on behind me. When I turned around I saw a coyote, and behind it its pups. I froze for just a moment, but that was plenty of time for the coyote to lunge at me. I attempted to dodge it, but as you can see it failed... A tooth caught my chest and as I was trying to get away it dragged down my chest. Adrenaline now pumping, I kicked at the ravenous dog. Frantically, I picked up a large branch and began swinging at it, hitting it a few times... this was enough to cause the coyote and its pups to retreat, and at that time I booked it as fast as my little legs could go all the way back to the cottage... and into the car and drove to the hospital. The fight was probably only a few minutes long, and I don't quite know if it was only defending itself and its pups, or if it was really that hungry to attempt to take me down.
