OMG so cute

She really is

Such a cute Coyote pup~ So Glad she survived in the womb.

Er, or rather, she was forcibly taken from her mother's womb, as the hunter, well, did her in. But he took the pup, felt bad for her and gave her for adoption at the sanctuary, she is a doll

She's adorable!

Oh she is for sure! :D

super duper luper cuteeeeeeeeeeeeee

She's such a sweet little floof!

Amazing little trooper. <3

She's a miracle baby floof :3

I wish I could favorite something 100 times! God I love stories like this. It's unfortunate that the mother had to die though. I hunt personally, but only when the deer are over populated or sick ect.
In short I don't shoot predatory animals unless they are really sick. This story touched my heart though. I hope she lives to be as old and happy as possible. Thank you!

Glad that I can share it, and other experiences, animals deserve our love and care, no prob! ^^

dawww

Heh heh heh ^^

My shep-coon heart has simply imploded into a molten pile of adorableness-jelly from seeing this picture. X3 Kayla is the sweetest little 'yote pup EVER, EVER, EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMFG how adorable. <3 I'm saddened about her mother's fate, but at least the hunter had a good conscience to spare her life - even save it, all things considered. God bless her sweet little warrior-pup's spirit... X3

This is my favorite photo I've seen posted by you so far. Seriously. So precious.

She's a real trooper, very curious and very very affectionate, and yes, while her beginning of her life is sad, torn from her mother's dead body, she is in a place where she can be loved and care for

I've got to handle and be around foxes before and as much as I love your fox pictures, this is extra special to me since I've yet to interact and play with a coyote :O What an incredible story to go with it too, I am glad she survived against all odds and you were able to share her story with us today :)

I'm glad that I can share it with others, she is a sweet little coyote pup for sure ^^

Eeeeeeeeeeeh!!!!!!!!!! >~<

So cute!

just make sure she won't attack the foxes

She's a pup, I don't own her and her owners know what they're doing lol XD

i hope so! she's so cute

Oh they're doing a great job keeping her safe :P

Cute little face. Shame about the mom. Hunter has to live with his actions, at least he gave this little one a chance.

In the end, the fact she lives on is what I find touching, she is a sweetie :3

The face of pure innocence, omg! She's a sweetheart!

Oh she is, so cute!

She looks so gentle but OMG she's so cute! Sorry about her tragic past but I hope she will have a wonderful future and home.

She is gentle little 'yote, running around, squeaking, soooo cute XD

Friends had a pair of them show up on the farm years ago just a younger than she is. They were raised with the lap mix they had and the cats. As they got older they became good pets and hunters around the barn and out building. It was the cats that taught them how to hunt rodents.

Canids can be excellent at removing pests, foxes, coyotes are especially proficient at that, and that's so awesome :D

The male was a lover and everyone was his friend, the female was standoffish till she was around you and felt you were okay. With me if I sit down in the living room I would have one of them as a lap cover while the other was trying to get in on the petting action. At the kitchen table that was a different story, they would sit and put a paw on you to let you know they were there... if a meal was being enjoyed they were out of the room for the most part. It was okay to save them a tidbit for after we were done eating.

They sound like they were amazing to be around and just so sweet, I don't interact with coyotes often, but the times I have so far have been positive :3

A lot of it is how they are raised and you let them warm up to you. If they remember their interaction with you was positive they will seek you out. A couple of times I had to reprimand them for something they did wrong so I treated them like a would a friends wolves. Pin them to the floor growl and snarl at them in their face after it was over we went back to being friendly.

That is one thing most people don't understand, you have to put things into a context they understand, screaming and yelling at them means very little to them. They understand a warning growl or No said softly that they are pushing things and it's just a reminder that they are crossing the line. You pin and grown or pin and bite them they know they crossed the line and went to far. There are all things that an alpha pack member would do to set them in their place in the pack. Both of them knew where in the pack I was and that they were under me, not the other way around.

I had fun handling and playing with them, it got really interesting if I had been over to Scott and Patties and around their wolves before going there. The Dot and Patch were weary and looking for the other predator in the area till they found the scent on me and even so they were a little uneasy.

Where I lived at the time Scott and Patty were on one branch of the valley with their wolves and Loren and Deb with Dot and Patch were around the corner from me about 100 yards away. The local coyotes would start up, if Dot and Patch were outside they would pitch in. This would go on for a while it was fun to hear the yotes call to each other. Then the wolves would add their voice and the yotes would shut up when the wolves stopped it was still. That was what 81-83 so it was a while ago now

I agree, a big part of it is trust, trust that I have and continue to earn from them as they learn to trust me. It takes a long time, but is so so worth it :D I'm glad you had a chance as well, not everyone has that opportunity ^^

She is so sweet I could sweep her up and give her a hug.

I don't blame ya, she's a cuddly hyper little floof

all the lovable puffballs you get to cuddle. I really do envy you. so much love and cuddles, so little time

It's the best feeling in the world to being able to interact with such amazing fluffy animals :D
