Once again, Library Thing sends a missile of destruction my way. I know it's free and beggars can't be choosers but, dang! is it time to move to that other Library website... dare I say... G-R? Anyway, an OK book made better by good narration but, even though I loved hearing about this little coyote's upbringing, at the same time my stomach lurched every time she left Charlie tied to a tree out in a ravine or some other place for hours and hours. DO NOT do this at home or in the wild with your dog, please!!! The other really really annoying feature of the book was how this woman actually believed that she was so darn poor and had to struggle... "survival" she writes... :) ... while getting help from her boyfriend at a drop of a hat. Oh how hard she had it! White, beautiful woman privilege in action, with total non-recognition to boot. Oh well, we all have to try to get better at that. For a truly beautiful story of the Wyoming wilds try "Letters from a Homesteading Woman" (something like that, you can find it I'm sure). For a so-so, cringe inducing but cute story of raising a coyote this is a good book to read. For a real treat check out her website - she has some stunning photos and is a really good photographer Shreve Stockton, writer-photographer, left SanFrancisco and by Vespar was journeying to her "beloved"New York. She was entranced by Bighorn Mountain, red dirt and wide open spaces. After a brief time in New York, she was drawn back to Wyoming, set aside urban living and took a house in Ten Sleep, Wyoming -- population 300. As our story unfolds, Shreve has accepted a 10 day old coyote pup. (soon to be called Charlie) The Daily Coyote is born as Shreve shares online, on a daily basis, life reflections and photography of Charlie's first year. ★ ★ ★ ★ sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

When photographer-writer Shreve Stockton decided to move back to New York from San Francisco, she decided to make the trip on her Vespa. When she reached Wyoming, captivated by the Bighorn Mountains and the wide-open spaces, she found herself a log cabin in Ten Sleep--population 300. Shreve took to the rules of the land, where time is of a different essence, nature is both livelihood and enemy, deer and coyote mark the dawn and dusk. After she met a local cowboy, first a friendship and then a romance blossomed. When Shreve was presented with a ten-day-old coyote pup whose parents had been shot, she decided to raise the pup she came to call Charlie. In prose and breathtaking photography, this is Shreve's exploration of Charlie's first year, a meditation on the nature of wildness versus domestication, of nature versus nurture, and of forgiveness, loyalty, and love in all its forms.--From publisher description.

In einem amerikanischen Gebiet, in dem Kojoten als Feinde des Menschen angesehen werden und per Hubschrauber gejagt und getötet werden, zieht eine junge Frau einen Kojoten auf. Das Buch hat mir gut gefallen, beeindruckt hat mich die Fähigkeit der Autorin, ihr Verhältnis zum Kojoten immer wieder auf den Prüfstand zu stellen, damit ein Zusammenleben gelingt. Ein Welpe braucht eine andere Bezugsperson als ein pupertierender oder erwachsener Kojote. ( )
