Abandoned puppies are surely a sight that would melt even the toughest heart. But before taking the sad-eyed puppy home, make sure that it is indeed a dog. And absolutely positively definitely not a coyote.

With the expansion of the city areas, coyotes are crossing our paths more. Especially because some of us unknowingly feed them, thus making them lose their fear of us. Which is the exact cause of the wild dogs’ aggression towards humans. And since coyote dogs are much smaller than wolves, kids are usually the ones to become their ‘prey.’

So when Justin Bogh received a message from his wife Kayla Eby with a picture of a ‘cute little dog’ she ‘found’ outside which was a baby coyote sitting next to their kid, he lost his nerve. The reaction was priceless with Justin even jokingly asking for a divorce.

Turns out it was just a prank by his witty wife. Kayla, a preschool teacher from Seaside, Oregon, created the coyote photos in Photoshop, and now their conversation is taking the internet by storm. You can read the whole coyote prank below.
