    look at that sideways look at you! you catch him in a big yawn or did you ask him to open wide?? :)

    hope all is well there; fall/winter preparations going well; and everyone and critter is happy and healthy!

    How to you keep his teeth so pearly white?
    One of our dogs lost his upper canine in a nasty fight with the other & I was amazed to see how long the roots were as well…Yikes!

    Is this a coyote thing, or can other canines achieve such a gape? I would think such a wide angle of open jaw would be lost in most dog breeds, they wouldn’t need it after thousands of years of domestication and quite a few have smaller, shorter muzzles. For a breed of canine that depends on hunting in small groups or alone, it makes more sense.

    Great image regardless, showing the subtle shading of his fur and the varied textures of tooth and tongue.
