Its clearly a domesticated dog that was abandoned by its owner
We have a full moon right now. Put the scroungy thing outside and see if it howls. If it doesn’t howl it’s not a coyote. Our neighborhood yotes light up right after sundown.
“Its clearly a domesticated dog that was abandoned by its owner”
Yes.
Dog with a bad case of mange. Take the fur coat of most familiar dog breeds, and you wouldn’t recognize them.
We had what everyone thought was a coyote roaming a neighborhood here. When they finally caught it it was an abandoned dog eaten up with mange.
