That's unbelievable! I don't understand how the shelter workers dealing with her couldn't tell by her behavior that she was a domesticated dog.

Not to mention that the Shiba Inu doesn't look like a coyote

That is really sad.. it breaks my heart

I can only imagine how her
family feels. I hope and pray that she is found safe and returned home.

I suppose I should just be grateful I have boring black and tan saddleback GSDs. At least they are not mistaken for wild animals.

My neighbor has a shiba inu named foxy because... well... it looks exactly like a fox.

No idea how a shiba inu can be mistaken for a coyote. I mean they're the same color, but that's pretty much where the similarities end if you ask me. This must have been one huge shiba inu for the shelter to think it was a coyote.

Pretty careless on the shelters behalf. I know i'd be p.o.'d if that was my lost dog.

with a wildlife expert who said coyotes were nuisance animals and should be returned to the wild or killed.

At least the latter didn't happen...But what the heck??? How dumb are these people?

The coyotes around here are brownish gray. Do Shiba Inus come in colors other than red?
