Minnesota Man Brings Pet Coyote To A Dog Park And Chaos Ensues. Is This Even Legal?

I work with a terrific meteorologist named Sam Ryan, who personally witnessed something absolutely bizarre at a dog park in Eden Prairie, southwest of Minneapolis.

Recent human use is evidenced by a pile of vaping cartridges, broken liquor bottles and plastic water bottles.
