When a compassionate Massachusetts family spotted what looked like a lonely puppy near the roadside, their hearts went out to him. The little animal appeared frightened and helpless, and they could not bring themselves to leave him behind. They gently picked him up and brought him home, thinking they had rescued a stranded dog.
It did not take long for them to realize something unusual. Once they had a closer look, the family saw that their new guest was not the puppy they assumed he was.
Instead of a young dog, they had unknowingly taken in a coyote pup.
Recognizing that he needed proper wildlife care, the family reached out to professionals who could make sure he grew up safely and appropriately.
