Thoughts?

I don't know a ton of info. West slope of Cascades. My aunt's sisters house she took the pic. Already got an answer from Wdfw. Wanted to know what everyone here thinks.

Looks like a wolf, though the color is uncommon it is found occasionally.  Certainly a "wolf-like" canid, possibilities include wild wolf, escaped captive wolf or wolf hybrid, or a very wolfy domestic dog.

What county?

[scottcrb]

Snohomish?

Looks like a wolf! So what did the good ol WDFW have to say? They probably thought it was a  Beagle

[scottcrb]

They told her it was a dog.

[HighlandLofts]

Good, next time that see it they can shoot it.

[Southpole]

Cool it's just a dog

[Axle]

They will call it a dog till you shoot it (because they are liars and thieves)      . Then if they catch you, they will collect thousands of dollars from you and you will be on the evening news. 

[scottcrb]

Yeah I thought it was kinda BS when they told her it was just a big dog.

Oh the games WA St. plays...

Looks like a wolf. But guess not........SSS.

We saw one about that color running with a big black wolf a few days ago, so I don't know how uncommon the lighter colors are.

Looks like a Wolf but I new someone that had an American white Shepherd that look similar as well...

[scottcrb]

I thought it was a bit light for this part of the country but I've never seen one in the wild so what do I know. Definitely not happy with how quickly Wdfw dismissed it. They must know something we don't.

Me and the ol' man seen a pretty pale wolf north of Empire Creek(Curlew) about 6-7 years ago looking down a rock cliff at us. Very light, light grey colored. Maybe not quit as light as this subject. I can see this being close to a white Shepard as well, but the face doesn't fit a dog, more wolf.
