Don Coyote by Dayton O. Hyde Book

Well-meaning rancher "adopts" a coyote and many compelling experiences follow. Set in Oregon ... It's an amazing story of the friendship between two natural enemies: a cattle rancher and a coyote. Dayton O. Hyde is lyrical (not what you'd expect from a cattle rancher) in his caring descriptions of the land and the wildlife. He argues that one should work with nature, not against it. This is a surprising story, not by a man from a new generation of progressive ranchers, but a man of middle years, raising a family amid the harsh climatic and economic conditions of eastern Oregon — and, yet, here he is embracing the thoughts and practices of a young, liberal ideal!
