God's Dog

About the Book

For two years naturalist/photographer Hope Ryden camped in remote areas of the West observing and photographing coyotes. With eloquence and clarity, she describes the private life of this much-maligned animal in a book that has been heralded as the classic treatise on the subject. While observing her controversial subjects, Hope endured hardships and peril, events she weaves into her beautiful story.

"As full of charm and tenacious inquisitiveness as the appealing animal she pleads to see allowed to live."
-The Washington Post

"A faultless and reasoned attitude."
-The New York Times
