Strange Dog
Yorgmiester
That looks kinda photo-shopped to me but if it is real that's pretty cool.There have been other sightings of weird hyena-dog-things.Maybe an unknown species?
Dewlanna
Good find original.gif I am not sure if its psd or not, but it looks a bit "odd".

To me, the tail is too thin looking, and the ears are at a funny angle and look too big for the head?
fatrobot
strange stance , looks like it might have mange looking at its tail, seems that its tail is hairless,
maybe its one of those people that say they can turn into a dog or spirit animal and they haven't got it down perfectly yet
yeah
thats exactly what it is
Yorgmiester
Yea i was gonna suggest mange.Although the shape of the body doesn't look familiar.It almost looks like a saber-tooth body with a cheewawa or coyote head psd on.Lol.Actually now that i think about it,that's exactly wat it looks like blink.gif

EDIT:After closer inspection i don't think it's psd.It doesn't have the typical distoted sihlouhette(spelled wrong ik) around it that most typical psd shots have.But the head still doesn't seem to fit.It's at a weird angle.Idk wat to think.

The only thing I could think of when I looked at the pic was Michigan Dogman

Looks like a coyote with mange.

Looks like a cross between a hyena and a coyote creepy none the less
rideron
y'all see an awful lot in whats a picture of a mangy dog.... huh.gif

The stance reminds me of a cat, cougar type thing. Dogs don't usually hold their head like that. But with all the dog crosses it could be real. Have you ever seen the ugliest dog contest? Many of those with birth defects don't look like the breed they are.

Yea but those birth defects usually affect the face and head more than the rest of the body.Plus most body defects(legs,etc.) usually look weird and are a hindrance to the animal.The dog thing in the picture looks natural(except of course that we don't know wat it is).
I agree the body and head positioning does look very cat-like.Almost gives it a prehistoric look.The tail reminds me of a saber-tooth tiger.I would dismiss it as a coyote or wolf with mange except that the body structure is so weird.

Creepy dog, My first guess would be a coyote with mange as well.
Dewlanna
Looks too "stocky" for me to be a coyote. Also, what would the size/height of that fence be I wonder?

I dunno, it gives me the chills either way *shrug*

That does not look like a coyote. The body is far too thick. The ears are all wrong, maybe photoshopped. Odd creature, whatever it is (or isn't).
JJsDietFitness
looks like some kind of hybred....maybe a wolf and some other breed.....huge body on the thing! Haha, its got a big shepard/great dane body with a pomarainian face with Shepard ears!

Assuming the photo is undoctored (IE, not photoshopped), the body looks more feline than canine to me and the tail seems too long to be that of a coyote. But the face, especially the ears, don't strike me as feline. The only feline I know that is both large( r) in size and has big ears is a lynx, but then lynx's do not have long tails. Also, the animal's head is in smaller proportion to the rest of its body than any coyote I've ever seen.

And though the animal does look mangy, I can't seem to tell if it either has random patches of fur amidst a body of skin, or patches of longer fur amidst a body of shorter fur (it could be my mind playing tricks on me because there's snow on the ground).

At any rate, here's some pictures I found for reference:

Interesting. To me, it mostly says "lion," which is strange enough considering the location before you get to the head. Those legs are more massive than you usually see on canids. I note the white muzzle, indicating age; is it possible we're looking at a deformed, age-haggard lion escaped from some exhibition?

I dount it.The ears aren't feline at all.And the snout is way too long and pointy.The body Does bare a striking resemblence to bobcats or lynx(more bobcat i think since lnx have spotted fur),except for the tail.That plus the head suggest a canine.The 2nd coyote picture looks similar to "animal X" as far as the body goes,except animal X is more heavily built.It would be helpful to have a size refference.Those look like train tracks right infront of animal X.If so then he's.......large.
GypsyWolf
Theres ing malformerd or paranormal about that dog. Its a shepard cross with a mane of hair on its shoulder. Id submit my aunts dog sabrina, who looks eerily similiar but I no longer have a scanner.
Goddess Of The Hunt
Well...I have no idea what it is although i t definitly sparked my interest so I'm going to research it further. It's not a coyote, the head and muzzle aren't right and neither is the body. But the ears remind me of a fennec fox becuase they're so big. I don't think it's mange either. It's body is also way different then a coyote from what I can see. Hhhhmmm...I wonder what it is?
Tia
Looks like a hybrid of coyote and something.
PersonFromPorlock
Two other observations: there's something bear-like in that rather portly gut. If the thing didn't have a long tail I'd wonder about that. I suppose it could be pregnant, but it looks a little old for that (white muzzle).

Also, the head doesn't seem to me to be articulated quite right; it's turned sharply towards the camera but the neck isn't.

Well, it it's a hoax it's the best one I've seen in a while.
Yorgmiester
The #1 reason i see that it can't be a coyote(or at least a normal coyote)----It's way too big.Look at it compared to the train tracks right infront of it.

the picture is of a coyote with an advancing case of sarcoptic mange


..that's what's on the bottom of the page. I guess it's settled this one now.
Mattshark
It'll be a a dog coyote cross-breed. Nothing unusual. Where people got a lion from is beyond me though.

I would have to say that it is in about the middle part of mange infection. Either that or its a hoax. The head does look to small compared to the rest of the body.

theghost
seen those before, Coyote with some sort of mange.But more than likley PHOTO SHOP.
Who Knows
It's a lion, or at least a lion's body. The body is the same color same shape, it has a long thin tail, a mane. Someone just put a picture of a canine on it.

That is definitely not a lion, its body is not the same as a lions. The mane is not like a lions, the tail is wrong it is not muscular enough either.
WraithGod
That figure looks REALLY familiar.

I don't see what the big deal is, if it IS real what do you think it's going to be, a werewolf? Seriously, it's going to be a regular, non-magical canid, possibly mixed-breed, with mange. The only interesting thing about this one is what the mix is - the head IS ridonkulously small. Looks like a greyhound head on a wolf body.

And guys, really, it's not a feline, no way no how. Keep in mind that you can't see the full length of the foot. Also, look at the way the tail hangs and the thickness of it.
Yorgmiester
No1 said it was a feline they just said the body looks alot like that of a big-cat.Which it does.Just adds to the strangeness of it.I've seen plenty of coyotes with and without mange and it just doesn't match.Plus it's too big for a coyote.I say it's most likely PSed.Or possibly a mix-breed.
Illyria
When I looked at it, I guess first thing I thought was Lioness.... With extremely long fur and in a snowy environment. >.<.
WEREGIRL666
my friend i would say dog man sorry if not..........but looks part wolf and also part cyote non the less i think dogman ..........only cause it cool
Super_Sasquatch
Seems like a dog or coyote with mange to me. Nothing more, nothing less.
Xeaphon
yup, probably mange
bogcreeper
tail drops like a coyote, while it's ears are not exactly where a dogs ears are supposed to be. Maybe a coyote/dog mix? Looks a little like a fox in the face. If it was from a photo shop I would think it would look unbelievable. I have seen and even had a few fugly dogs in my life so I think that it is plausable. Ever seen the ugliest dog in the world contest?
WraithGod
Someone said something along the lines of, "That's definitely a lion."

Hahahaha yes, they are unbelievably ugly... like how Janet Jackson isn't good looking but Brian Peppers is UGLY ugly.

I can't say it's a coyote, the proportions are just plain r******ed. I'd really like to know what kind of mix it was or which bad werewolf movie they cut it from. xD

Oh PS if those are train tracks at its feet can coyotes really get that big? =/
therion24
It looks to me like a wolf.
2spookie
looks like a coyote wolf mix..... ooh ive seena wild boar some years ago look like a "werewolf" runnin for a distance bout a tall as the barbed fence... the hair on its back stood up... was kinna scary lookin.
Camozotz
It looks similar to a coyote/fox, but look at the hind legs. The bent one kind of looks like a bear-ish thing. Its a man-bear -pig!...Or is it photoshopped? I cant really say. Whats with the long tail? Monkey?
Yorgmiester
As wraithgod said and i had said before if those are train tracks infront of it then it can't be a coyote(assuming it's not PSed).They look like train tracks to me.

cyotes go on train tracks....we have seen them alot that could be one that used to be a pet
Dewlanna
I still think it looks too "big-boned" to be a coyote?

And no way its a lion, the ears are totally not lion ears original.gif
The Maharaja
I thinks its a wolf hybrid

I know that coyotes go on train tracks.I was pointing out the size comparison.If those are train tracks then he is waaay too big to be a coyote.Geez.

It has the wrong back shape for a hyaena, hyaena and ardwolf backs arch down wards.
It is also definitely a caniform. Hyaena are feliforms.

It bears absolutely no resemblance to a lion at all.
