Coyotes like racoons and a load of other random north American animals actually make weirdly solid pets. Just not your normal suburban pet tho.

If you like out in the sticks and have a bunch of other dogs coyotes end up being fine. They integrate ok into existing packs.

Coyotes have evidence of being kept like dogs for over a 1000 years all over the Americas. Not nearly as wide spread as dogs. But not all that uncommon either.

Hell the few times in recent times someone’s tried to domesticate coyotes they just turn into dogs basically. How we ended up with coydogs, and then if you don’t try to keep the coyote in them they sorta just breed out after a few generations of modern dogs in the gene pool.

Honestly the bigger problem is a coyote is smart, coydogs and their various breeds are kinda all stupid as fuck. Yet to see a hybrid breed that retains any level of intelligence.

So you end up with something as stubborn and willful as a husky and as stupid as a rock. Not a great combo…
