VIDEO: Creature walks into TV live shot, sparks internet debate

SPRING LAKE, Utah -- A Utah reporter received an unexpected guest during her live shot Wednesday.

Morgan Saxton was covering flooding in Spring Lake when an animal started walking toward her.

Saxton kept her cool as the camera panned out to show the animal.

The four-legged creature sparked a debate across the internet.

Some said they believe it was a coyote or cougar. KUTV reports.

After the animal walked passed her, it scurried off into the woods behind her.

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has since looked at paw prints left by the animal.

Wildlife officials decided it was, in fact, a dog.
