This video is of Phoenix, the coyote, and Tanook, a low content wolfdog. During the winter, coyotes often become quite hormonal, whereas Tanook just wants love all year round.

Tanook is a senior Native American Indian Dog, and is a low content wolfdog. Phoenix is also a senior and is a coyote who was confiscated in an animal cruelty case. They are our odd couple. Tanook weighs over 100 lbs whereas Phoenix is only about 30 lbs. Hormonal coyotes are quite the experience. They simultaneously want love and to be left alone, all the scritches and then exactly zero scritches. All of Phoenix's bites are corrective and done with almost no force; she has never left me with so much as a bruise (and I bruise like a peach). However, it's important to recognize how very strange her behavior is and to remember that coyotes are absolutely not pets.
