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?

Good find

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?

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

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

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 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.

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).

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:

Coyote:

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.

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.

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?

PersonFromPorlock
Mar 16 2008, 05:56 PM
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
Mar 16 2008, 06:17 PM
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.

Strange DogI 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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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? =/

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.
