This TikTokker’s baffling ‘dog or coyote?’ confusion was funny, but the hilarious responses will really set your tails wagging

Speaking from the point of view of someone who might occasionally mistake a young fox for a large cat if the lighting isn’t great, it’s hard to imagine living in a place where you might encounter actual coyotes.

That’s the situation in which TikTokker @gabbyygonz finds herself, which is how she ended up posting this ‘dog or coyote?’ clip to the platform.

@gabbyygonz I think I tried to take a coyote in as a pet 😭 #coyote #florida #dog #wild ♬ original sound – Gabbers

Oh! That’s no dog. With over seven million views and half a million likes, her post is officially viral, and the responses do not disappoint. We highly recommend taking a look at the full compliment, but only after you’e read through these highlights.

Everyone is worried about you needing glasses, and I’m worried the cat at home is actually a raccoon.
