There's A Coyote In The House

by Elmore Leonard

I listened to this book on CD at the recommendation of my sister.

It is about a coyote who befriends a famous dog actor, Buddy, and his house companion, Miss Betty. He wants to see what it's like to live with people, so Buddy and he figure out a way for him to live with his family. While Antoine (the coyote) is learning about humans and house dogs, Buddy is curious about coyote life.

Their antics are funny and humurous and the last few chapters are quite a turn from what I thought would happen.

Neal Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser) reads the story. He does a good job but I think reading as animals is probably hard. He needed a Mom and Dad human voice, Buddy the german shepherd voice, Miss Betty the poodle voice, and a variety of different coyote voices.
