Love that story, and remember the coyote bits vividly.

Depends which papers.

We’re really making dog 2.0 with these guys.

Is the bit about them wearing "castoff clothing" some sort of joke? I was unable to find any reference. I suppose they might steal castoff clothing to line a den or something?

A few weeks ago my wife and I pressed the request button for a walk signal on a busy street that cuts through our neighborhood. As soon as the audible signal started, a coyote emerged from cover and trotted across right alongside us.

I had a huge NYC rat do this with me at the corner of 75th st across CPW into Central Park. I think urbanization has educated all smart mammals.

Pigeons have been using the Underground here in London for decades: www.iankitching.me.uk/humour/pigeo...

The bridle path goes right by there. Are you sure it wasn't a horse?

I approached a building's basement stairs and a cat-sized animal crawled out to meet me. I assumed it was a cat until I got closer. I named him King Rat. He waddled to the crossing with me and waited patiently to cross when the light changed. He took the path one way and I the other.

Just another typical NYC wildlife encounter. 😉
