Dallas Police Department officers rescue a young animal cowering lonely and forlorn behind a dumpster.

But the discovery raises a big question.

Animal-loving residents notice a little puppy on their street, crouching all alone behind a garbage can.

They inform the local police station, who collect the little one.

The officers take him to the nearby animal shelter in Dallas, Texas.

But the puppy's appearance raises important questions among zoo keepers: is the puppy a dog, a coyote, or even a fox mix?

Because this is of enormous importance in the care and supply and the possible later mediation.

Police rescue puppies from the street - but what kind of animal is it?

To be on the safe side, they run a DNA test on the little one, whom they call Toast because of the color of her fur.

Such a "relationship test" works in a similar way to a PCR test.

A simple swab of the oral mucosa is sufficient.

The sample is sent to a laboratory, where the genetic material is compared and the result is obtained a few days later.

In Germany, too, some manufacturers offer such tests that can be carried out conveniently from home.

Police rescue puppies from the street - Toast is a dog

As it turns out, Toast is a dog.

"As suspected, she turned out to be a beautiful little mongrel," the Dallas Animal Welfare Service wrote in an update on Facebook.

"Her DNA results show that she is 42 percent German Shepherd, 38 percent Siberian Husky and 20 percent Australian Cattle Dog."

This made it clear how the keepers could take care of Toast and nurture her to find a loving home for her later.

As soon as they published the news on Facebook, there were a lot of applications.
