“You Can’t Keep A Coyote!They’re Wild….”Brad has always wanted a dog, so when he catches the little coyote, he decides to keep it.

Even rescuing an orphaned coyote pup…and keeping it a secret from his parents. With his friend Nolan’s help, Brad is determined to tame Scooter, train him, play with him, and hide him in an old dog pen behind the barn. It almost works…until Mom and Dad discover his secret – and Scooter steals their hearts and gives them all a coyote’s-eye view of what it’s like to live in the dangerous world of men.
