He's a little dog. No more than 11 or 12 pounds. But he has the proverbial heart of a lion. His self-appointed job is to keep the wildlife in the bushes and on the hill away from us and his voice resounds throughout the canyon. Today, while hiking with Chris, he annoyed a coyote and set him to running.Chris got a good look at the coyote as he traversed the deer trails - an animal as big as a German Shepherd. Chico kept his distance.
When I express my fears that the coyotes could grab him, Chris states his belief that our little fearless dog is smart enough and fast enough to stay out of coyote range, and that not curtailing his or the coyote's freedom is important. There's room enough here for all of us.
