LOVE ME, LOVE MY COYOTE

In her blog, The Daily Coyote, Shreve Stockton chronicles her relationship with Charlie, the coyote she bonded with when the animal was just a pup. "Knowing Charlie, I find him completely fascinating – the intelligence and the beauty and the grace he embodies," Stockton told PEOPLE in 2009. "People could learn so much from [coyotes]."
