Friend and family believe this could be a Chupacabra, which literally means goat sucker. Chupacabras are a legendary creature suspected of killing livestock and sucking their blood. A couple weeks ago in the middle of the afternoon, Truitt was on his property in Simpson County just outside of Mendenhall, when a “funny-looking animal” walked through an open field about 130 yards away.
He could immediately tell the animal didn’t have any hair, but when he looked through his rifle scope, he knew this was something very strange. The animal’s back legs were several inches taller than his front legs, his ears were rounded, he had no hair and his teeth were very long, said Truitt’s son Scott Barnard. And a group of buzzards wouldn’t even touch it.
“I’ve never seen anything a buzzard wouldn’t eat,” Scott said. The mysterious animal has become pretty popular around Mendenhall and several people have reported sightings of strange animals since news of this one spread. “I’ve seen several different things they say we don't have in Mississippi,” Truitt said, so finding this creature “wasn’t a big deal” to him.

Looks like an ordinary dog.
It's always a dog or a coyote with mange.
It looks like a dog or fox that's lost its front paws in a snare. I'd thought "Gosh, that's a strange animal, I'd better kill it." was a mode of thought that had gone out with big game hunting, I guess not if you're in the states.
Yep, looks like a dog to me.Poor thing.
Yeah, Ratz. Everyone who lives in the United States of America shoots everything we see. Nobody in any of those other Enlightened Countries shoots anything. Ever.
Tuck your bigotry back into your pants. It's embarrassing.

To be fair Anonymous@3:16, every time you hear of a strange creature found in the US it has already been killed.
Thanks for that Anonymous Mississippian with Education.
We'll never know now, it's dead!
I'd have shot that dog, too.* Looks like it was in a fair amount of misery.
*- Not that I own a gun. But, you know... if I did.
God, don't you know anything but "see it - kill it"? We
used to have some interesting animals around before they were hunted to extinction. If something was wrong with it, it could have been fixable but now we'll never know, huh? I wish you hunters would just shoot each other.
Misshell, I'm 100% with you on unknown animals. But that's clearly a dog with a disease.
Diseased dogs aren't going extinct. Neither are the tens (hundreds?) of thousands of non-diseased dogs awaiting a long, painful, gas-induced death in shelters throughout the country.
A well-placed shot is sometimes the merciful option. (*Not that I've ever shot anything.)
I believe that this took place in Texas, which is probably the gun capital of the US. Also, even their Governor Rick Perry has talked about secession. I guess if he doesn't become president (Heaven forfend!), he can just become king of Texas.
It's a dog; a hairless miniature pinscher type dog. They call it the Peruvian Dog. It always wins ugliest dog contests :( Poor thing. They are loving, sentient beings.
