CAPITOL HEIGHTS, Md. (UPI) -- Animal control officers in Maryland tracked down and captured a loose dog many residents believed to be a wolf.

Prince George's County police shared photos which concerned several citizens due to its large size and wolf-like appearance.

Police managed to track down and capture the animal at about 10:30 a.m. on Thursday and confirmed that it was a large dog.

 

"It seems to be a mixed malamute/husky-type dog," Prince George's animal management Chief Rodney Taylor told WUSA. He's definitely a dog.

The dog was found without any kind of identification such as a chip or a collar and will be held at the county animal shelter for 5-7 days to be claimed by its owners before, being placed for adoption.
