Hyenas are not related to dogs. And therefore can not have offspring.
Even if they liked each other ... a lot :-P LOL Hyenas are in the
Hyaenidae family and are more closely related to a mongoose than a dog
(Canidae).

Personally, I think its a feral dog with a really bad case of the mange or
some other skin ailment. Its either that or someone's cruel joke. Either
way that poor animal probably won't survive winter. Hell it could even be a
hyena with a really bad hair day. But it isn't a cross for sure.

Mystery Creature Lurks In Baltimore County

GLYNDON, Md. -- A mystery animal is on the loose in Baltimore County and
not
even the experts can pin down what it is.
A Glyndon man found a way to secretly record the beast while it grazed in
his
yard. For a while it was just lurking in the woods watching the Wroe
family
until the Wroes started watching it.
Jay Wroe: "My truck was parked here, started getting in my truck. I kind
of
saw it there where the sunlight is and said what in the world is that?"
Jacob Wroe: "It looked so weird to me. I didn't know what it was."
Wanting to get a better look at the beast stalking his family, Jay Wroe
put
technology to work for him.
Jay Wroe: "The next day, I hooked up just portable motion detectors, and
put
them down back in the woods there."
The trap worked.
Jay Wroe: "Very bizarre. I went and got my father and cousin and they came
and
looked at it and their reactions were pretty much the same -- what in the
world
are we looking at?"

More than a month after the first sighting, the creature has become a
neighborhood regular and showing up often.
Kim Carlsen: "It comes to our house. It's been up in the woods for a while
and
it comes up through the bottom of our yard and eats our cat food."
Despite the fact it's lurking in these woods and no one knows when or
where it
will come out, no one here seems afraid of it.
Jacob Wroe: "I don't know, it doesn't look like it's going to harm
anybody."
Even the other neighborhood animals like Bullwinkle the dog next door seem
okay
with the beast.
Kim Carlsen: "It's not afraid of the cats and the cats seem to get along
with
it fine."
The beast is not shy, and visits most often under bright sun. While no one
here
knows what it is, they do have a name for it -- the hyote, a combination
of a
hyena and a coyote.
