Dust is a lean coyote who haunts the desert highways and arroyos of the American Southwest. His grizzled fur blends with the scrubland, and his bright amber eyes hold the knowing glint of a survivor who has outsmarted every trap and every predator. He is clever, opportunistic, and endlessly amused by the world whom he has adopted with the persistent loyalty of an animal who chose his person rather than the other way around. A faded orange bandana hangs loosely around his neck.
