I live (and grew up in) in Central New York (as in: middle of Upstate New York). We've had "coydogs" as long as I remember. I sort of assumed it was a myth, in fact I remember being told it was a myth and that they were just plain coyotes.

Then again, the kids also claimed that they were faster, smarter, and would hunt humans...so there was definitely some mythology going on.
