    Have known as couple dudes who had coyote cross bread canines. Or at least that’s what they said. Only really knew one of these dogs and its behavior never gave me any reason not to believe it wasn’t half coyote.

    The dog stayed outside all year round including the winter. Not the by choice of owner but was where the dog prefered to be. It hated the indoors and would get too hot inside with its winter coat and fat. Roamed hundreds of acres of farm land and forest. Killed more Coons and rabbits than any other animals with aren’t the easiest animals to pin down. Was always a well behaved dog but if you fucked with it, snuck up on it, or played too rough… you prolly were getting stitches on your forearm or ass. It never attacked anyone unprovoked tho, it just sucked how easy it could be to accidently fuck up doing something like grabbing a glass of water in the middle of a summer night when someone forgot to let it out after dinner. It would like to chill inside in the AC on hot summer days.

    Knew another dude when we were highschool aged who caught an orphaned white tail fawn. Raised it with his beef calfs and it lived like 3 years. Spent its whole life, including the 2 years it was a mature adult doe, just chillan and ranging around my buddy’s property. Would grunt outside the barn when dinner was late. We think that it basically thought my buddy was another deer so it would grunt like it’s trying to find other deer in the area if my buddy wasnt home or was late putting out feed. Anyone reading this should know tho, don’t fucking adopt abandoned fawns. Or any fuckin wild animals for that matter. If you find one, contact your local DEC office and let them handle it.
