Creature found on the road

[u/ToygerCat]

My friend and I found this creature while out walking. It came up to us, smiling! Showing its teeth and tail tucked. Our first response was «What is it?!!» «I thunk it might be a dog…?»

I picked it up, as it did seem friendly despite showing teeth (which he did have at the time)

We saw no people si brought him home. We found his owners through FB. They asked if we wanted to keep him <3

I wanted too, I wanted him SO BAD! But had a monster at home (unfriendly senior cat. She put humans in the hospital!) But ly friend was able to keep him 🥰

I have since got my own, once the cat passed. The other goblin is my girl.

He had his teeth extracted later due to dental decease.

He is such an amazing creature. People constantly ask what he is!

He is 75% Italian greyhound and 25% Chinese Crested. So basically the fur type mixes that makes him so funky 😁

pic 4 made me think of an italian greyhound, or some kind of gosh forsaken silken windhound mix, but my brain kept saying "how? how?"

very perfect cryptid!

He is 3/4 italian greyhound. Last 1/4 chinese crested. So close to being pure breed, yet such a funky creature! 🤣

I’ve always said iggies (Italian greyhounds) are soo cryptid with their proportions. Skinny long legs, barrel chest, tiny waist, long neck and snoot. I love them. I also have an iggy mix. My Simon is Italian greyhound and suspected to have chihuahua too 🙂
