It wouldn't be normal for bobcats or coyotes to come after you, but they may be attracted to your dog. Keep the dog on a leash and it would be better to walk with other people to discourage wildlife from coming to close.

Most nature preserves do not allow pets, so the decision may already be decided for you

I think it would be ok to bring your dog but keep him away from any animals that appear.
