JP man says that was no coyote on Quincy Bay, that was his missing Dutch Wolfhound

A Jamaica Plain man says the coyote that ran across Quincy Bay the other day is actually Taupaw, his 11-month old Dutch Wolfhound.

Taupaw is lanky, gray, brown and white, is shy, but loves other dogs. And he loves to roam:

He went missing from Newmarket Sq., was photographed on the ice in Quincy Bay on 2-27, seen 2-27 on Lawrence Ave/Blue Hill Ave @MLK Jr. Elementary School.. Seen 2-28 on Elm St. in JP near old High School. This guy is covering a lot of territory - please keep an eye out!

Deputy BPD Superintendent Kelly Nee says this ties in with an unusual call BPD got yesterday from Lawrence Avenue in Dorchester: A report of a "coyote" wearing a collar.

If you see him, call 781-640-6219.

I wonder how he managed to remove his leash?

Ran away from home. Easy when the show is high enough. Go hump yourself.

I suspect he's not a dog

I suspect he's not a dog owner. All dogs get loose.

Good point

My way-too-smaht young aussie mix used the snow banks as a ramp and I got a call from the Cambridge dog police some hours later. Apparently this is happening all over the place. Be advised...
