Also amused by book jacket review of Hope Ryden’s “God’s Dog” about how “she has an incredible patience for the coyote.” Geez, what, did we whizz in her kitchen after swiping all the cornbread or something?
@Leucrotta But now I /want/ to whizz in her kitchen after swiping all the cornbread.
@Leucrotta or, well, whoever wrote the review's kitchen, not the author's!
@topaz "God's Dog" came out in 1972, so a pro-coyote author must've been even more dramatic at that time. For reference, Mech's big definitive book about wolves came out in '81 and a lot of the data for it came out of the 1960s. Ryden herself sounds way cool in general.
@Leucrotta Oh, wow!
@Leucrotta We're still baffled how much society in general seems to hate coyotes.
