A coyote is a wild animal that is known to be mean and vicious, so if the person is like a coyote, it would make sense for people to stay away from her.
Consider the statement "I get why they would stay away from her if she was mean and vicious, but she's not.". Based on this "i'd understand if they stayed away from her because she was like a hungry coyote , but she isn't" a true statement? Yes, no, or I don't know?
