This is one story that can fall under the category of a baby animal that looks like a puppy dog that was really a baby coyote that was wandering in the streets of Bartlett Illinois one week ago.
A stranger felt pity for a small animal that was thirsty and hungry. The stranger brought what he thought was a puppy dog.
When the puppy coyote was looked by the Bartlett Police officers, they were amazed that the small animal was not a puppy dog but a puppy coyote who was either abandoned by his fellow coyotes.
Bartlett Police Sergeant Kyle Rybaski was able to determine that the baby coyote is female who evidently got lost or her mom had passed away.
Sergaent Rybaski made the decision to have the female baby coyote taken to the Willowbrook Wildlife Center which specializes in rehabilitation of small animals where the baby coyote can grow up into adulthood with a loving family of other animals.
I could not see the baby coyote being sent to an animal shelter waiting to be adopted by a loving family who wanted to raise a baby coyote as their own pet.
A fellow animal rescuer. Human adoption would have been unwise.
Having a baby coyote as a pet is looking for trouble.
So cool to know of people so willing to help animals.
Helping animals that are stranded on the road is a wonderful thing for all of us to do.
So cute, I also thought it’s a fox when I saw the photo. I have read of people in Russia who have adopted kittens that turned out to be wild cats.
I did not know the many Russians who adopt kittens that turn out to be wild cats.
I hope the coyote is released back into the wild.
I am sure when the baby coyote gets old enough, he will go back to the wild,
Baby animals do like alike. I can see why the person picked up the loose pet and took it to the police as a kind gesture to the lost pet.
At least it goes to show that there are some good people left in this world.
This is so cute! I won’t mind having it as a pet! It’s so lovely!
That is true since coyotes make wonderful pets.
I don’t know much about Coyotes. Im pleased the little puppy was taken care of.
The only coyote I know of is Wile E. Coyote of Warner Brothers cartoon fame.
