Would hogs kill a Jack Russell Terrier? (Coyotes v. Hogs as culprit question)

Maybe a bobcat?

I got more information and wasn't told a key fact - the dog was found down in a grove of trees near where a couple of dead cows are (flooding victims). Coyotes had been going down to eat the cow remains. So, definitely looks like coyotes.

It wasn't shot. All of the land around where the dog was found is family land.

Could be a coyote, maybe another dog(s)

it were my land, those hogs would be trapped year round and extinguished.

They multiple like 3 times per year

Hogs get smart when you use them for an extended period. It can work but it doesn’t always

Hate to hear this. Jack Russells are awesome little dogs. My big arse pit is down to come frick up the accused. I typically don't have a problem with coyotes, but will frick them up if they tread too far

I was wondering if hogs would kill a dog that wasn't going after them (and not eat it)?

Maybe, but I agree that coyotes are more likely. However, same evidentiary problem - why didn't they eat it?

Now, he could have gotten chippy with the hogs (or coyotes) and got killed for his trouble.

Was this in broad daylight? If so, I'd suspect another dog or, maybe, a bobcat.
