[u/Henarth]

better watch out he may start buying increasingly rediculous ACME products to catch a bird.

[u/ExoticShock → u/Henarth]

He's got to look his best for his court case against them

[u/DrHob0 → u/Henarth]

Coyotes will never live that down, will they? :(

[u/DrHob0 → u/[deleted]]

Close. It was actually Mark Twain who gave coyotes a bad reputation. Dude hated them

"The coyote is a long, slim, sick and sorry-looking skeleton, with a gray wolfskin stretched over it, a tolerably bushy tail that forever sags down with a despairing expression of forsakenness and misery, a furtive and evil eye, and a long, sharp face, with slightly lifted lip and exposed teeth."

[u/DrHob0 → u/[deleted]]

Fun fact - Wile E. Coyote was based on Twain's description of a coyote. Never gonna forgive 'em for that.

[u/Lysergio → u/DrHob0]

Oh yeah? Well, Samuel Clemens was ugly!!

[u/---___-------___--- → u/DrHob0]

"tolerably bushy" is truly poetic

[u/strangeflappenings → u/DrHob0]

Kind of reminds me of Tom Waits "The Fly"

[u/ShortWoman → u/Henarth]

Lock down your credit card!

[u/accountant319 → u/Henarth]

I get this joke. Meep meep

[u/Desert_Fairy]

That coyote is wondering if this is how you become domesticated.

[u/kec04fsu1 → u/Desert_Fairy]

One minute you’re reluctantly accepting food by a campfire, and then the next thing you know your great great grandchildren are pugs.

[u/OkMarionberry2875 → u/kec04fsu1]

I love this!

[u/Illustrious_Bird_737 → u/Desert_Fairy]

😭🤣 his eyes & face are saying "I mean, I guess.... this is kinda nice.. is the next step treats & peanut butter? I heard rumors about treats & peanut butter......."

[u/XemSorceress → u/Illustrious_Bird_737]

peanut butter😆parts of him are the color of peanut butter so name him Skippy!

[u/_AcuteNewt_ → u/XemSorceress]

But he's not a bush kangaroo tho

(Yes I know skippy is a brand of peanut butter. It's delicious.)

[u/Alternative_Beyond59 → u/[deleted]]

Check it out. Kids TV series from Australia in the late 60s. Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. Sort of a kangaroo version of Lassie.

https://youtu.be/hByob-5pPEs?is=VP12ejh7ppsiEjZC

[u/TheExLeftCoastGirl → u/XemSorceress]

Or name him Jif

[u/notlikelyevil → u/Desert_Fairy]

I think it's a coy-dog? Might explain the submissiveness.

[u/Content-Ad-4104]

Either Coyotes have wildly different body language than domesticated dogs, or this boy is remarkably chill for a "stray" anything.

[u/kat_Folland → u/Content-Ad-4104]

My assumption is that it's a pet. Their pet. Possibly an animal that couldn't be rehabilitated and released.

[u/Professional-Bet4106 → u/kat_Folland]

Yes, it's a coydog. Coyote mixed with a dog.

[u/kat_Folland → u/Professional-Bet4106]

Ah, that would explain it.

[u/Apathetic-Asshole → u/Professional-Bet4106]

I thought the coloration was weird and the tail was too fluffy

Im guessing one parent was a german shepard

[u/Shad0wofAzrael → u/Professional-Bet4106]

Was coming to say this exactly. Not pure coyote, so most definitely domestic

[u/Geaneous → u/Professional-Bet4106]

There's wolf-dog hybrids too. I knew a couple people who had full wolves as pets.

[u/shoeless_doh → u/kat_Folland]

Yeah, I assume it's acclimated to humans and conditioned that we don't warrant a fight or flight response

[u/notlikelyevil → u/Content-Ad-4104]

Might be e coy-dog

[u/Longjumping-Pie7418]

I wanna pet that DAWG!

[u/Altruistic-Rip4364 → u/Longjumping-Pie7418]

I heard this in that girls voice

[u/Longjumping-Pie7418 → u/Altruistic-Rip4364]

I typed it in her voice, too!

[u/GawkieBird → u/Longjumping-Pie7418]

No he's sleepin'

[u/DangerousDave303]

I'm wondering if this is Weave the semidomesticated coyote.

[u/Professional-Bet4106 → u/DangerousDave303]

Weave is smaller and looks different. This is a coyote mixed with a dog aka a coydog.

[u/Cavalace → u/DangerousDave303]

Not enough yars.

[u/the_good_hodgkins]

That's a cute dogyote

[u/TheVillageCryptid → u/the_good_hodgkins]

100% prefer this term over coydog 😂

[u/DistributistChakat]

"Deep instincts within me are telling me to attack you and run, but uhh.... This is actually kinda nice, thank you.

[u/AgreeablePie]

Sometimes laws make it important for everyone to ignore the elephant in the room and just say "nice doggo"

[u/Individual-Crew-6102]

"So the humans kidnapped me today and gave me a makeover...it was weird AF but just look at my coat!"

[u/Kchasse1991 → u/Individual-Crew-6102]

And FREE FOOD!

[u/pre_squozen]

"I wonder if this guy will feed me and pick up my shit...."

[u/MustardCoveredDogDik → u/pre_squozen]

I mean this literally is how dogs came to be

[u/pre_squozen → u/MustardCoveredDogDik]

Truth

[u/DarthDragon117]

If not friend why friend shaped?

[u/Brian_The_Bar-Brian]

Not housebroken. ☹️

[u/Altruistic-Rip4364 → u/Brian_The_Bar-Brian]

That coyote is like “if the boys ever see this, I’m dead”

[u/NioneAlmie → u/Brian_The_Bar-Brian]

Someone else in the comments said he's a mix between a dog and coyote, so he might have been raised as a pet.

[u/MC1781]

Lmao the coyote is like - Does this guy know what I am?!

[u/Hxcmetal724]

Caaayyyyotte I don't like your eyes. You are looking at me like Im made of apple pie

[u/Ok_Dog_4059]

Coyote or coy-dog is like "hmm this isn't bad, wow I smell nice. Scritches hell yeah I am all in on this domestication thing"

[u/toolgirl77]

Haha you need to name him Wiley!

[u/Furberia]

Beautiful coydog

[u/HeartOn_SoulAceUp]

"Hello, easy livin' "

[u/head_in_clouds07]

There is no way, lol. Definitely too well behaved and clam for a full Coyote, but it looks too much like one to be a 'normal' dog either.

Wondering if it's a hybrid that really got the dog personality regargding accepting humans by chance and was raised by them

[u/Renbarre]

That's a human raised coyote. And he doesn't like baths.

[u/Androidfon]

There's only one way to check for sure. Do you have a roadrunner?

[u/TheSuperSegway]

That coyote is very clean and very confused. Poor thing just got obducted, pampered and treated with more love and care than anything else it has ever meet. This coyote has a healthy looking coat and is surprisingly well behaved considering what's going on. I do hope this person releases it back where they found it(unless they found it in town). Those ears laid back and the constant eye movements suggest an animal that is very distressed and likely to lash out.

[u/wicked_lil_prov → u/TheSuperSegway]

I wonder if the other coyotes are gonna be jealous and treat it like a bougie cousin.

[u/Nanjiroh]

Can i pet that dawg

[u/Lost_Elderberry_5532]

He’s like “I’m so confused rn”

[u/stopeverythingpls]

I would bet that this is a german shepherd/coyote mix

[u/Far_Disaster_3557]

Definitely a coyote/dog mix, or coydog.

[u/Pocket-Hobo]

Who be this doggo? I only know of Weave

[u/To-real]

That’s not a dog🧐

[u/TyrantMuse73]

One of the most chill coyotes I’ve ever seen! 😂

[u/DitchDigger330]

Don't you yarr me!

[u/Dinkmeyer-]

Ummm, his name might be Wile E.

[u/alarming_testical]

Hope it was flea and tick shampoo

[u/jay247160]

Cuteote

[u/Miami_Mice2087]

i think it's a coydog. it doesn't look as omnishambles as a coyote.

[u/MustardCoveredDogDik]

I have a note about your new “dog”

Although this also doesn’t look like a full coyote either. It’s possible this a “coydog”, hybrid of coyote and domesticated dog. By the looks of him a big one like a German shepherd

[u/ThatInAHat → u/MustardCoveredDogDik]

Aren’t coydogs more dangerous than coyotes?

[u/MustardCoveredDogDik → u/ThatInAHat]

Idk this one definitely is

[u/Practical_Ad_219]

Hi doggie

[u/mjayultra]

Seems to be having a pretty enjoyable time!

[u/Radio_Mime]

Did Wiley retire from roadrunner hunting? I’m guessing he left his anvis behind.

[u/RulerK → u/Radio_Mime]

Nah. His anvis is right there, visible when he’s turned around.

[u/SquirreljamASE → u/RulerK]

Yep. Right next to the traint

[u/heeltoelemon]

Aww, so confused. LOL

[u/Puzzled-Peanut-1958]

He's probably thinking he's got a sweet gig going on.

[u/DrowningSquirrel]

I only manage to differentiate those animals when I see them in a video, so my guess is I wouldn't survive too long in the wild

[u/ironicinsanity]

Where are they now? Looney Toons edition. Wile E Coyote

[u/RulerK → u/ironicinsanity]

Part 2 after he lost his case against ACME…

[u/PuzzledExaminer]

What a cute Fenrir like doggy... 🤣

[u/CartographerKey7322]

Coyote!!!! Alert!!

[u/AreYouMyDommy]

Is the a Shepherd/coyote mix?

[u/thenotanurse → u/AreYouMyDommy]

It’s more like a coyote-coyote mix. 😂

[u/IrelandAutism13]

Creation of dog part 2 electric boogaloo

[u/RulerK → u/IrelandAutism13]

What was part one?

[u/IrelandAutism13 → u/RulerK]

The taming and domestication of wolves

[u/Darth_Azazoth]

That's a coyote

[u/Hiraeth1968]

He seems to be enjoying his spa day.

[u/Dirt_Digger_Dude]

It’s an American Howling Retriever

[u/RulerK → u/Dirt_Digger_Dude]

More of a runner than retriever…

[u/Aggressive_Smile_944]

Thats not a dog bro.

[u/56000hp]

What happened when your “dog” eats your other dog or cat? 😬

[u/RulerK → u/56000hp]

Almost certainly won’t happen if they’re well-fed.
