Talk:The Legend of Michigan's Dogman/@comment-25121315-20150528003825/@comment-26864348-20150807072735

This is a cryptid, not just a story. Look up Linda Godfrey, she has done a significant amount of research in this area. Creatures of a similar discription to this are found all over the midwest and parts of Canada. In Wisconsin there is the Beast of Bray Road, in Quebec there is the Beast of 7 Chutes (a park there), along with the Michigan Dogman and reports of creatures fitting that description in states such as Ohio, Missouri and Tennessee. The majority of reports indicate that it tends to observe people and run away when it realizes it has been seen, but there are a few reports of them exhibiting aggressive behaviour. Another interesting resource is the Dogman Encounters podcast. You can find it on YouTube at the channel of the same name.
