When Hailey Hanestad was 5-years-old, she wanted nothing more than a puppy. One day her dad came home with a shivering little bundle of joy. And Hailey couldn’t have been happier!
Because Hailey and her family lived life on a ranch in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, she wasn’t afraid of animals and welcome the little guy with open arms.
But little did she know that her puppy was something else entirely.
Dad later admitted that it wasn’t just a puppy. This was a baby coyote that really needed care and a loving home.
They named their coyote, Wiley, and he soon became a vital member of the household.
Actually, Wiley the coyote and Hailey became an inseparable pair. Just so cute!
You could watch young Hailey playing with her best friend, snuggling with him, or even sharing kisses. Wiley was a really good dog to this little girl.
But no matter how cute he may be, Wiley is still a wild animal. He feasts on venison and fried eggs. But he does have some domestic qualities. Like he refuses to eat raw meat and needs it cooked. Sounds kind of fussy for a coyote.
Because he spends his days inside the family’s house, he needs to behave. That means he even gets baths although he hates them.
Every day Wiley goes on nice walks with Hailey’s dad just like any other dog. He also has his own little space outside to be wild with a burrow and lots of trees.
But in all honesty, Wiley’s favorite place is the foot of Hailey’s bed.
