uhhh... that might be a coyote, but it looks more like a fox to me.

It's either a small coyote or a large fox. Either way he looks pretty well fed to me; I guess this form of pest control is working ?

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the large anvil on a rope hanging just out of frame.

Now that you mention it, it does kind of look more like a fox than a coyote. Considering the coyotes we do have running around town are all mangy and beat up:
