Coyote or dog? Rescue team trying to help pup with its head stuck in bucket for days

Please refrain from arguing and debating whether this animal is a coyote or a dog. That has not been definitely determined, however either way, it’s an animal in need of immediate help. If he is not captured and rescued soon, it is feared he could die.

Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife have opined this is a coyote, and if and when he is caught and the bucket removed, he will be released back into the wild.
