That was my first thought, it had a human-like look to it.

There is nothing canine about those teeth.

Yep, looks young to me as well. The teeth are a tip off. And Chows are one of the most aggressive dogs out there.

Weird story. Rodents and canines are way the hell too far apart to interbreed and there's no way a species of animals that size could have been missed for 400 years in the Americas.

I'm not a biologist, nor do I play one on TV, but I'd like to see a dental impression of it. I don't know what to make of the size of all the teeth, except that it calls for a "just damn" moment.

Maybe it's just that I'm tired, but your post really cracked me up.

"half-rodent, half-dog I was scanning the posts for a clue to what I was thinking of the head, and the rodent part nailed it. I thought bobcat style but the part about the rodent/rat is a great guess. This will be fun to follow.
To: rintense
People are looking at the side lip flap on the side of the dogs mouth. It makes the dog look like rear teeth are black.

Has anyone been missing the local Maine Demoncrat tax collector?

Now, people are asking if the mystery beast and the animal killed over the weekend are one and the same.
Wildlife officials and animal control officers declined to go to Turner to examine the remains. By Tuesday, the carcass had been picked clean by vultures and there was not much left of the dead animal.
Loren Coleman, a Portland author and cryptozoologist, said it's unlikely that the animal was anybody's pet.
After reviewing photos of the carcass, Coleman said he was bothered by the animal's ears and snout. It reminded him of a case years ago in northern Maine in which an animal shot by a hunter could not be identified. In the end, wildlife officials got a DNA analysis that showed the animal was a rare wolf-dog hybrid, he said.
Mike O'Donnell, who is married to Michelle O'Donnell, said the animal looked "half-rodent, half-dog" to him.
It was charcoal gray, weighed between 40 and 50 pounds and had a bushy tail, a short snout, short ears and curled fangs hanging over its lips, he said. It looked like "something out of a Stephen King story."
"This is something I've never seen before. It's an evil-looking thing," he said.

Yep, this dog has Chow written all over it. Hell, it could very well be a young Chow dog gone rabid.
