Laura Stetser/This picture of a coyote was taken in Egg Harbor Township on a foggy spring morning.

EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP – “Wake up, there’s a wolf in our yard,” I said to my husband early one spring morning about two years ago.

 I quickly grabbed my camera and started taking pictures of the canine, which showed no fear of me as it crossed our yard. Black, brown and tan, it looked like a skinny, off-color German Shepherd. But this dog had no collar and knew its way around the woods that surround our English Creek-area home.
