Coyote Mistaken For A Dog Recovers From Mange And Is Released Back Into Wild

When Sharon Bertozzi first noticed an animal hiding behind a large vase near her front door last summer, she was sure it was an old dog in very bad shape.

The poor thing certainly was very sick -- so much so that she barely had any fur left on her small body. "My heart just ached for her," Bertozzi said. The California resident knew she had to something to help the suffering creature. What she didn't know, however, was that the "dog" wasn't actually a house pet.

After being aware of the animal's presence for around four hours, Bertozzi came to the realization that she was a young coyote with a severe case of mange.

That's when she called the City of Folsom Animal Services. Officers came and picked up the coyote. She soon came to be called Princess.

After being transported to the Gold Country Wildlife Rescue, she was also found to be severely dehydrated.
