(WXYZ) — Monica, a Detroit resident, thought she was walking away with a newborn puppy several weeks ago after she says a man was handing them out at Papaya Fruit Market at Warren Ave and Mettetal St. in Detroit.

“He told me it was a German Shepherd puppy,” said Monica.

Probably. He has to be traced and have his hyenas seized. He could very well be releasing hyenas into the wild to create mayhem.

I coulda sworn its illegal to keep hyenas as house pets in Nigeria. Never saw any hyenas in anybody's home or in the streets while I was there.

But it identifies as a German Shepard, so it’s ok. :-/

Perhaps not illegal. Perhaps native intelligence kept them out of the pet zone

I have a friend who had a pack of wolves.

Her little kids would go out in the fenced yard with them and sleep with the pups in the den.

You would not want to mess with her kids, above all things, because the Alpha bitch considered them “her pups”, too.

Beats me but there’s a thing, “Hyena men of Nigeria” full of pics like that.

I’ll stick to Dobes.

It’s enough that my boy outweighs me by 3 pounds.
I know my limits.

:D

Not being dogs probably helped, too.

Yup.

Drew68... You wouldn’t by any chance be 1st Sgt Drew, assigned to HQ&A of a battalion in Germany in 1968, would you? If so, howdy, Sgt Drew! Long time no see! Hope all has been well with you! :-)

Doesn’t look anything like a hyena.
Look at what hyena pups look like on google:

Kamala abandoned another of her litter.

Gonna get ugly when the dominant pit bull meets the grown up dominant hyena down at the dog park.

Yeah...Always wanted an African Wild Dog. Hyena? Not so much. But I’ve never lived in Detroit. I could probably be swayed.
