mydiamond Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'd say that's a wolfdog or a wolf. Too big for a coyote I think. But then I didn't see her in real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed #5 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Not coyote unless she's mixed, too big and ( for my type of coyote ) the wrong color. (( Most "coyotes" living in urban areas are mixed with dog. )) She is a beautiful animal and I hope they can trap / tranquilize her without hurting her - and while I understand curiosity, the neighborhood should go 'way and let the game dept do its job.

racerx780 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I was wondering if this would be posted. Some of the pix on the verious news sites make it look like a husky or husky-mix.... but they are still saying it's a wolf. I dunno... It looks ratherr tame whatever it is.. so it was probably a pet. Wolf or dog... which maybe if it is a wolf that's why no one has come forward... cause you aren't allowed to have them as pets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racerx780 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 For all the crowd that's around, this is one really laid back animal!!! Exactly... which is why I think it's someone's pet. I just hope it's caught without being hurt. The media and press are making this out to be much more then it really is. I mean, it's not like a lion is free roaming about.... It's more then likely a pet that misses his family. The fact that it's just chilling makes me think it's probably at least part husky. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(s)he's one damn good looking animal!!! Like you, I hope they can capture it without anyone - human or canine - getting hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diarmuid Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 what a cool looking wolf/dog. could do with a brush of a furminator lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Melsom Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 It does look like a wolf cross to me it definitely does not look like a coyote I see those all the time they are quite small and skinny and have very pointy faces. Its got the body build like a like a wolf would have. Tamaskan's have slender bodies like huskies so I don't think its one of those. Its head is what gives it away as a cross...maybe GSD cross or mal ? Sooo pretty tho and Im glad they are not freaking out and killing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racerx780 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 And this guy has been where for the past week?? The article states that he "lived" in FL.. past tense.. which given the current state of reporters... I'll take that with a large grain of salt. They don't seem to fact check much anymore...

Michelle Melsom Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I hope it really is his owner and not someone who seen it and has decided he wants it He has pictures tho so that counts.

Removed #5 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I've been watching and haven't seen anything since My Lyons came forward and "Penny" came up to him and was then scared away by another idiot! Lyons decided to surrender the dog - hopefully to the Wolf group who had been there. Sent a message off to Peter Mucha of the Philly Inquirer who had covered quite a bit of the story so hopefully he'll send a follow up.

Thanks for the follow-up. I think like a lot of people, I was afraid they were eventually going to give up and put it down there. After a DNA check up to see how it ranks as a "Wolf" she should have a good home there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
