It is claimed now that the "coyote" you see is not really a coyote anymore. Over 90 percent are a "coy-dog", coyote dog mix. I live a few minutes from Boston and they are all over this area. I've had them walk right by me when I get out of the car late at night. One female came right up to my St. Bernard when we were out walking one night. They have never shown any aggression either when I have been alone or with the dog. Couldn't shoot them if I wanted to because the houses are only a few feet apart.
