“The wonders of nature are endless,” Walt said in the lead-in to the broadcast of Concho, the Coyote Who Wasn’t. “Sometimes we can recognize ourselves in animals—that’s what makes them so interesting. And one of the moments we can understand and sympathize with is when an animal faces something new and must rise to an unusual challenge. That’s our story now.” In this enduring tale, an old Navajo Indian, Delgado, trains an orphan coyote to work as a sheepdog in northern Arizona. As Walt said at the time, “It’s about a coyote who wasn’t quite a coyote—or maybe we should say, about one who was more than a coyote.”
