Lucky Dog
Love 'em or hate 'em (and we basically don't like them even a little bit), you've got to appreciate this coyote's tenacity for survival.
Daniel and Tevyn East were driving from Colorado to California in October when their car hit a coyote. Assuming that the dog was dead, they continued on their way until they realized, eight hours later, that the coyote was still very much alive and very much stuck in their car's grill.

That's a tough way to hitch a ride. Next time just use your thumb.
I've heard it said that when it all goes south, all that will be left is cockroaches and coyotes. I can buy that.
Good lookin yote, he deserved to live another day. Besides being hit by a minivan isnt exactly fair chase...
Wiley E. Coyote! After all that, he deserved to escape....
Hard to believe that a coyote could be hit by a vehicle going 75 and survive, let alone not be injured. Maybe the coyote crawled up into the engine compartment to keep warm when the car was parked. You read about this happening with domestic cats all the time.
Wow that's one lucky coyote. If I hit one and didn't see it tumble down the road behind me I think I would check under my engine asap. Raw dog under the hood might make for a smelly road trip.
That is good spudhead archer, he is one tough little hitch hiker. Point of interest, the coyotes range prior to man wiping out his main predator, the wolf, was limited to the arid area of the south. Now they range across the country. If any animal can find a way to live in close proximity to man it would have to be the coyote.
That coyote was just looking for a better place to winter. California is more mild so I will head there! Amazing!
Any coyote that could survive that crash desires a second chance at life. I hope on his release that he was able to run without signs of injury.
thats insane that yote hopefully has as good during the winter season
He was lucky he didnt cross my path.Last thing that yote woulda saw was me with my .223 and a shovel.
That's amazing. It escaped death and then the wiley little sucker escaped from the kennel too.
that dog has nine lives and tough as nails cant hate him for being lucky!
they should have killed it coyotes are no good they kill deer,mice,rabbits,etc. while other animals do that too
