Cute fella, whether alien mutant or simple chow mix.

It just looks like part wolf (as the tail dictates) and part some other kind of dog.
No big deal.
Instead of staring at pictures why dont they just check the DNA of it?

It's eyes are kind of human-like.


In the end, wildlife officials got a DNA analysis that showed the animal was a rare wolf-dog hybrid, he said.

Quite the contrary. You suggested a solution. And it was the same solution they took. You have the right instincts to help take part in crime scene investigations.

I like how everyone says it looks "evil." Whatever. It just looks like a dead dog. A strange looking dog, but still a dog. Geez, people trying to make themselves feel important...

After reviewing photos of the carcass, Coleman said he was bothered by the animal's ears and snout. It reminded him of a case years ago in northern Maine in which an animal shot by a hunter could not be identified. In the end, wildlife officials got a DNA analysis that showed the animal was a rare wolf-dog hybrid, he said.

So the paw might go in for DNA testing.
