I really loved this book. I bought it because I was doing research on Coyotes for a novel I was writing, and I thought I would skim this, but I read it word for word instead. Perhaps because I already had an interest in coyotes, but I came home every night looking forward to reading more. If you love animals, you'll love this book. Well written, easy to ready, interesting stories, etc.

J. Frank Dobie is a wonderful non fiction writer. Everything he writes
is new and vibrant even though it was first written in 1947. Amazing!
Great book for Texans. Great book for anyone wanting to know all about our coyotes. Amazing animals. And they are only found in the Americas.

For those who want to learn more about North America's most intelligent animal, the coyote, this is a renowned source. It is written for the average reader and you don't have to be a scientist to understand it.

Coyotes have been unjustly maligned by the special interests of agriculture and hunters. However, these books are based on science and observation, not on myth and the pursuit of profit.

I'd also highly recommend God's Dog by Hope Ryden God's Dog: A Celebration of the North American Coyote and Eastern Coyote by Gerry Parker Eastern Coyote as well as The Daily Coyote The Daily Coyote: A Story of Love, Survival, and Trust in the Wilds of Wyomingand Barbara Kingsolver's masterpiece of fiction, Prodigal Summer Prodigal Summer: A Novel.

I got this book as the result of a recommendation from a naturalist. It seems to be a mix of information and story as it seeks to share about the voice of the coyote. It's been very interesting so far.
