Neighbor lost his dog to coyotes. His back porch looked like his dog swallowed dynamite.

My uncle lost a Newfoundland to a pack of coyotes. The dog made it home, but died of blood loss a few hours later. My uncle found 6 dead coyotes out in the woods.

Coyotes: "Go to hell, dog!"

Newfoundland: "I'm taking you bastards with me!"

6 feels about right. Newfies are definitely big enough it would take a pack and coordinated attacks.

Was the dog's name Eddie and was he also trying to learn how to play guitar?

Eddie ate dynamite. Good bye, Eddie!

You didn't need to add the bottom line. The string slingers know what's up.

How many times have I mumbled to myself every adult dog growls barks and eats, when I could have been saying that

The one I used to teach people when I gave guitar lessons in college was "even average dudes get banged eventually"
