WINNIPEG -- A coyote caught the country’s attention after waking up in the car that had hit it earlier. Now the furry canine is on the mend, an animal rescue shelter said.
The Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre took in the coyote at the end of November after it was hit by a car on a Manitoba Highway.
The shelter told CTV News the man who had hit the coyote didn’t know what to do with it, and so not wanting to leave it on the road – the man put the unconscious coyote in his car.
When he finished work and walked to his car – he found the coyote wide awake.
