Woman on Facebook Says She Rescued an Angry Dog, but Followers Tell Her that It Is Not a 🐕

Be careful when trying to do the right thing. Your good heart can put you in a preventable danger

A woman of Omagh, Northern Ireland posted a photo of an angry dog she found eating a dead rabbit on the side of the road. What a weird thing to do. Disgusting and quite daring if you ask me. Who knows what diseases this wild dog could have had or what savage attacks it’s willing to do to anyone who gets close to it? But, she decided to let her huge heart shine by letting the dog inside of her car and inside of her home. This shouldn't go well. She'd be lucky if it did.

While driving with this wild dog on her way home, she noticed how angry and 'wicked’ it acted. Ok, so she likely just thought that the dog just needed the tender unconditional love from its family, and so she kept driving with this thing in her car for miles. You have to admit that this woman was quite brave to have continued to drive while this angry wild dog remained in her possession. Most of us would've pooped or at least peed our pants doing such a thing.

The dog was without a collar when she found it, she says. So she only hoped that if she wrote a post online that it would find the owner.

Her post —

If this woman was on my feed, I would likely wonder why she didn't call animal rescue or law enforcement. Not that she should know this, but over 4.5 million people are bit by dogs every year and 68 dogs per year were REPORTED to have rabies. I wouldn't suggest taking any chances with a dog that you nothing about. That's my opinion, but to each their own. Some people see life differently and many luck up and get a reward after surviving a case like this without a scratch. Hooray! I'm likely going to keep my distance and perhaps call a professional that can get the dog off of the street away from kids.

Her post goes viral after comments suggests that this so-called dog was not in fact a dog, but a fox:

She then writes, “I’m scared now”. “How do I get it out???”

Ok, so you're scared now. Likely, why weren't you scared initially of an angry stray dog? A dog's bite can be as extreme or worse than a fox's bite. Perhaps the woman knows more about dogs than foxes. And because of so, she feels much safer around a viscous dog than a viscous fox, perhaps. Certainly, she's seen videos on YouTube of dog attacks or perhaps the news. She definitely should've thought about picking the animal up in the first place when seeing it eat a dead rabbit.

It is definitely the best idea to release it in the wild, or lock it up in the shed, garage, or the back yard, or even perhaps in a room in the basement until authorities come by to take it off of your hands. Likely if she releases it out in the wild, it can be a danger to someone else.

A follower of the woman’s Facebook page reposts the scary situation and shares it on Twitter; it gained over 144,000 likes.

Eventually, the woman comes clean: revealing that in all actuality, she didn’t truthfully take in the angry dog, it was all a joke. She says, "It was a wee wind up that I didn’t see getting so much attention”. “I saw an old story that circulated a few years ago about a coyote presenting itself as an injured dog, so I took that photo and though so I’d add a little humour to the story."

It turned out that the photo of the animal was neither a dog or a wolf, it was a coyote.

She says that the post was meant to give people a good laughter throughout the difficult times during this haunting coronavirus pandemic.
