Ill Coyote seeks sanctuary in Caddo couple's front yard

Bo Daniel and Della Louise Fain from Gilliam had an unexpected visitor in their yard not too long ago. When their dogs began causing a commotion, they went outside and found a young coyote laying in the hedges against the front of their home.

Here's how Bo described what he saw:
