Klappentext
"I'm pure lean and mean coyote," Antwan said. "When you're ready for a run in the woods, lemme know."
Antwan is a coyote, wild as they come. He likes his meat raw, not out of the can. He likes hanging with his gang, the Diablos. He DOES NOT want to be a pampered pooch. No way.
Buddy is a doggy movie star with a taste for fame and luxury. Since he retired, Buddy has been BORED with everthing (except thedelicious Miss Betty).
Buddy wants to try life on the wild side. And he thinks Antwan could certainly benefit from some house-training.
Can the coolest coyote on the block really learn to be a PET?

Meine Meinung
Ich habe erst im Nachhinein, als ich den Abschnitt über den Autor gelesen habe, herausgefunden, dass dies eigentlich ein Kinderbuch ist. Es ist meiner Meinung nach aber kein typisches Kinderbuch. Es ist gross geschrieben und zudem nicht sehr dick. Ich hatte es ziemlich schnell durch.
Mir hat der Kontrast Haushund/Coyote sehr gut gefallen und die Reaktion und des einen auf die Welt des anderen. Und auch die Sichweise die jeder von des anderen Lebensstil hat wird schön dargestellt.
Obwohl es ein "lustiges" Buch ist, driftet das Ganze nie ins Lächerliche ab.
