While I was at school, my mother noticed the dog would dissappear for a few hours each day and became concerned. Paying attention, she noticed the dog 'picking up' the mailman on his route. The next day she kept the dog inside and waited to apologize to the postman for the inconvenience. "Please let the dog out, when he is along no other dog dares to come close. I just wish he would stick around for the whole route..."

Thats a great story Lee!
When I was a kid I always wanted a pet Coyote (from watching the roadrunner cartoons). Noticed some 'stunt' ones at the beginning of the Eddy Murphy film 'Norbet' recently and wondered if anyone keeps them as pets?
