(CNN) One wily coyote made its way to the roof of a bar in Queens, New York, on Monday morning.

Matt Quigley was at his office when he saw what he thought was a dog on the roof of the garage of LIC Bar across the street.

Turns out, a coyote was on the prowl.

Prowling, and more likely pacing, Quigley said, "trying to figure out how the heck to get off this roof."

Brian Porter, owner of the bar in Queens' Long Island City neighborhood, was shocked when he first saw the animal.
