VERSO
Signed and dated

The artist wrote, “Years ago I discovered a book about coyotes, entitled God’s Dog. This name was probably lifted from the lore of western Native American tribes. In any case, it’s a wonderful, affectionate name for a very resourceful animal.

“Coyotes, like white-tailed deer, can live within the fringes of human enclaves and manage very well, thank you. They’re omnivores, which means they’ll eat most anything they can find, from fruits, berries and melons to rabbits, mice and prairie dogs. They’ve even been known to prey on small dogs and cats. They are not, as you can guess, universally loved, but the ecosystem of which they are a part would be poorer without them.”
