The mysterious half-dog, half-wolf animal is found dead: town mourns the loss as DNA tests baffle experts
A mysterious creature captured the hearts of a small Alaskan town, leaving behind unanswered questions and a story that lingers.


During the fall of 2024, a mysterious animal appeared in Anchorage, Alaska. What surprised locals the most was that the creature, later nicknamed Gary, seemed to be some kind of half-dog, half-wolf hybrid. This peculiarity endeared him to the town’s residents, who even created a Facebook page to share photos of their encounters.
DNA test reveals the true Gary
Tragically, Gary died - or at least was found dead - on October 7, apparently the victim of a car accident or some other kind of mishap. Without any identification or collar, his true identity remained unknown until authorities decided to perform a DNA test at this time.
ICYMI: Curiosity grew in Anchorage as a mysterious animal named "Gary" was spotted citywide. Sadly, he was hit by a car, and DNA tests will reveal if he was a dog or wolf hybrid.

As the townspeople had suspected, Gary was indeed a hybrid of dog and wolf, according to reports from Wamiz. What will forever remain a mystery, however, is where he came from and why he appeared in the area.
Despite his wild nature, Gary managed to integrate into the community while he was alive, earning the affection of many locals.
