The Sierra County Sheriff's Office posted earlier this week that a dog owner was looking for their lost pet, named Benson, who had run off from the Sierra Brooks neighborhood. Benson was less than a year old and friendly, the owners reported.
Notably, deputies say the dog mistaken for a wolf had an orange collar – unlike the kind of GPS collars some of the gray wolves have that are being tracked in eastern Sierra County.
The sheriff's office says they are continuing to investigate the dog's death and are interviewing people. The person who originally posted about the dog is cooperating with the investigation, deputies say, and isn't considered a suspect.
Gray wolves are listed as an endangered species in California, meaning taking an animal is prohibited anywhere in the state.
