Canis rufus--argute

   
   "Canis rufus--argute"

   Meaning shrewd, this animal, merging the gray wolf Totem symbolism with the myriad of meanings behind the Totem representing the underfed, skinny, lean, garden-variety coyote is a predator/omnivore filled with loyalty and sagacity.
   It is likely to thrive, highly, in the Eastern United States, and having turned over aspects of my local library, I learned, was independently schooled really, that there is government protection for these sublime canine-like creatures in North Carolina.
   They say when werewolves see the bright, passionate color of red they morph into man-eating monsters; regardless, Carolina Blue protects and nurtures these friendly yet skittish animals, and we should be thankful for the myriad of acres they get to religiously roam freely without a sniper's control of the fox in the cathouse, or whatever--ya get me?
   It's just nice to know that certain furry friends still have the right to remain autonomous without bullying, here in this awesome America.   Yup, long live the Red Wolf.
