Family rescues a lost "puppy" only to realize they accidentally brought a coyote pup home, so they take him to a shelter where he gets paired up with the cutest foster brother: 'The two became friends very quickly'

It is a good day when a story like this one happens - when someone rescues a dog and then something unexpected and strange occurs. Not because of the strange thing but because the story starts with a dog rescue, and that is the part that really matters. So few people actually stop and take time out of their busy days to help an animal in need, so each and every one that does deserves all the praise in the world, even if what they rescued actually ended up… not being a dog at all.

This family thought that they were rescuing a regular puppy, but what they actually brought home was a coyote pup. You wouldn't know it. Looking at the tiny thing, you could totally think that it is a regular puppy, but alas, it was not. And its rightful place was not with humans. So, the family did the right thing and took the pup to a shelter where, thankfully, it was given a little special family of its own.

First of all, we want to say thank you to the person who rescued this baby coyote, even if they didn't realize that is what they were rescuing. We need more people in the world who are willing to go out of their way to help an animal in need, and this is what they did, and that is what matters.

Second, we have to say… that we would have fallen for this too. From afar, we definitely would have thought that this was a regular puppy, because that is what it looks like! And although we would have done the right thing and gave it away, just like this person did, we just know that it would have been one of the hardest things that we had to do.
