Phone typing, bear with me.
Found two coyotes once. Mom had died. Caught them, still have the scars. Raised them. one died about two weeks later. Don't know why.
The other we kept for slightly over a year. Yes, I could pet him. Came time to free him and did.
For the next year he'd return, every couple of nights. Play with my German Shepard, Bonanza.
A little after a year he returned one night. Looked good, healthy. Never saw him again.
I like to think he's still out there, Ripe old age of about 40. Hehe. And one night, he'll return.
