Looks and acts like a dog.
There’s nothing skittish or stealthy about it’s behavior.
if it was a coyote, could have been in beginning stages of rabies- also could have been a coyote dog hybrid- coydog- soem claim they don’t exist- others claim they do- dunno what the reality is=- but it certainly didn’t look like a full coyote
Cyotes dog mix -— not uncommon here!
