One coyote walks to the right, while the other is perched up on a rock howling up at the full moon that is in the blue sky behind it. Verso inscription: "Now a Wolf don't make a very good pet. But John A Smith thought he'd 'copper this bet.' So he bought these, made of paint from the Ponytrack man And he can walk up and pet 'em and they don't give a dam-" Signed Gollings, Jan-27-1910.
