Hurt and scared coyote

Around 3:30 am a coyote started crying really badly and loudly outside. Not a regular bark or yelp but I one from fear or pain.

It wasn’t in front of my house but nearby. He cried for what seemed like a long time. It was a cry that pierced through your soul. It was a cry of deep pain and sadness

Two of my boys went to look for it but it stopped crying shortly after they left and they couldn’t find it.

I couldn’t go back to sleep after that. I was so sad and worried about the animal
