Developed from her tremendously popular blog, writer and photographer Shreve Stockton presents an inspiring journal of her experiences raising an orphaned coyote as a beloved pet.
Cassandra Campbell manages the difficult task of voicing the concept of cognitive dissonance as she narrates Stockton's simultaneous love affairs with a pet coyote, "Charlie," and a rancher who kills coyotes for a living. Animal lovers will be befuddled by Stockton's tale. It's simultaneously a cuddly diary about a coyote pup and a glowing endorsement of ranching culture's wholesale slaughter of coyotes. Campbell voices Stockton's popular blog-turned-book with a detached Western romanticization that reflects the author's inability to extend her love and admiration for Charlie to the wild coyotes that are gassed, trapped, and shot daily by her lover. While Stockton's blog succeeds online, THE DAILY COYOTE doesn't translate well into a full-length audiobook, partly due to the absence of Stockton's cute photographs of Charlie. J.T.
