   I have to say I didn’t know that these existed, but they are pretty darn neat. LOL…My sister has two siberian huskies, and if I didn’t know any better, I’d say they were related… :)

   But seriously, I looked around online, and they can climb trees…how neat is that. Thanks for sharing!

   If you have a musical orchestra, for instance?

   In contrast to the moderate interest and mild expressions of disapproval that I got from one foster dog when I played back coyote song from the Lassie, Get Help blog, this soundtrack elicited full-bore pissed-off entire-pack hysteria (five dogs in the house with me right now), with running, angry barking, charging around the entire house, upstairs and down, and hitting the doors, to find the source. (All of them ran right past me at least once without localizing the sound, so I don’t think the running-around-barking-like-an-idiot strategy works too well for that.)

   When Barry White finally localized it at the very end, he looked at me in astonishment and disgust and is now approaching the (silenced) computer and tapping it with his nose, which is very forward for him.

   I don’t think I’ll be playing this one again.

     I can’t get my dog interested in coyotes on the computer.

     However, I can get the local coyotes to go nuts whenever I play really good recordings of wolves howling.
