A greyhound, or other sight-hound, perhaps? A greyhound looks almost like a deer.... and they come in all colors.

I don't know but I will google it for ya! ;)

I would say some sort of coyote is what you saw, but I am no expert.

I saw this animal on the side of the road driving back from Washington DC recently, it resembled a cross between a hyena and a deer. I saw it in the mountains, just a few miles outside Paw Paw, West Virginia. It had the body type/shape of a doe, but had brown fur with black spots similar to that of a hyena. I didn't get too detailed of a look at it, since it ran away quickly, but I'm curious what it was.
