Jeannette Whitmore's Yorkie named ''Piper'' slipped out of her home near Incline Village Golf Course about 6:30 p.m. a week ago and hasn't been seen since. She says the coyotes were out in full force that night and because of the timing, she is pretty sure they got the dog.

Her petition asks ''Incline Village to work with golf courses and wildlife experts to take action to reduce the threat of coyote population immediately.''
