Over at Coyote Yipps, Lou writes to Janet about a guard dog of his acquaintance that doesn’t hesitate to chase or even kill coyotes that try to raid the livestock he protects. But, to his employers’ chagrin, the dog overtly looks the other way for one specific coyote, letting her snatch one chicken every couple of weeks. There’s reason to believe that the two have known each other for a couple of years, with on-camera evidence that the coyote would sometimes let the dog chase her around just for the thrill of it.

I love animal-friendship stories even when they’re soaked in blood and gore like this.
