Hi everyone! [

This puppy showed up infront of our house last month in the middle of the night when a family member arrived for a visit. We live in Arizona. As it was very cautious, hunched and circling our terrified family member, we mistook it for a coyote. Or did we?? Once I started speaking to him and offering him contact, he became very happy! Turned out to be a HUGE sweetie, giving loads of kissing.. this suggested to me that he'd had human contact. He even lead me to our gate and kept pushing on it. When he couldn't get in, he just sat there. We've done absolutely everything to find it's owner - filed reports, posted signs, looked for signs, scanned for chip - but no luck. And we're certainly not complaining.. he's such the charmer!
He seems to be about 6-or-so months of age. His eyes are a striking translucent green. My brother took the pup home that night and has had him since. Does anyone have any ideas of his breed(s)? I thought maybe a hint of Husky, but he's too lanky in his features (eyes, ears, coat). Although the resemblance he shares with a coyote is uncanny! Or am I just seeing things?? [8D] [

Sorry the pictures aren't very good.. they're all I have!
And here's a picture of a coyote:

Edit- Just as a note, some shady people passed along information that he'd been wandering around for about 4 or 5 days. He was so starving that he was attempting to eat the rocks in our yard, etc. :[ So he definately is not "wild".
