It just about killed me when I had to put my buddy of 14 years down back in November.

He sorta adopted us and our dogs. He was injured when he wandered up as a youthful pup, and he never wandered off again. I sure do miss him.

Creskol, your buddy was a Coydog, as there's definitely Coyote
features, but I also see features that look like it's dad could have
been a Husky or Malamute.

Ogre: About now the coyotes are denning up for their breeding
season, and pups will start being born over the next couple months.
My guess is you're hearing two different pairs telling each other to
stay the heck off their turf. Coyotes are protective of their den areas,
as they protect more and more land as the pups get bigger.

I tend to believe the old Apache story that a Coyote will still inhabit
all of the land when humanity is long past.

Thanks D-D... That very well could well be.. All I know is the vets were very apprehensive about treating him.

This is probably true. I've seen a couple of younger coyote carcasses in my area. They look like they were mauled and killed by their own for what ever reason? This may be what happened to creskol's pup. He was rejected by his coyote kin. There was once a coyote around here that looked like creskol's yotodog. It was bigger then the others and acted kindof slow. It's face was not wiley looking, but more broad and somewhat sweet tempered appearing, kinda like a good ol' dog. That was maybe 3 or 4 years ago I last saw it, but it was always alone.To me it looked like it bread with something like a Great Pyrenees.
