  1. The Brooklyn dogman case in Schuyler County, Illinois, details numerous documented encounters with large, bipedal canine-like creatures reported by residents between 2020 and 2021. #dogmen #dogman connectparanormal.net/2026/04/

  2. We have passed the "Dog Man" books phase. We've read all of them in English, at least once and some in Norwegian. Much mirth was generated reading those books.

    However, a screeched version of "Stinkle, Stinkle Little Fart" is still a firm favourite at bedtime and a sibling bonding moment for our family's junior members.

    The sound of juvenile voices trying to out scream each other at the point of adding names to the song and at the point that the "his"/"her" are uttered.

    Bliss!

    this dude analyses & discusses it all- the sheer amount of genuine sightings, photos & other (recent) evidence is so overwhelming, at what point do you call it #truth?

    The Michigan Dogman: Werewolves and Other Unknown Canines Across the U.S.A.
    Linda Godfrey
    2010, Unexplained Research Publishing Company
    216 pp

    Linda Godfrey began her involvement with recording and researching accounts of canid humanoids at the tail end of 1991. The more she looked into the phenomenon, the more stories came forth about upright-walking werewolf-like beings in Wisconsin, Michigan, and adjacent states. Godfrey, a journalist and artist, took the dogman from an obscure legend to one of most popular cryptids in North America. Its renown is impressive and continues to grow. This is, in no small part, due to Linda’s ability to write in an engaging style and to speak in an honest, good-natured, Midwestern “nice” tone that resulted in her becoming a beloved figure in cryptozoology. Linda passed away in 2022, but she was the author or co-author of 18 books, including several specific to canid humanoids. The two listed here, along with Hunting the American Werewolf: Beast Men in Wisconsin and Beyond, 2006 and Real Wolfmen: True Encounters in Modern America, 2012, established this particular cryptid-creature as the primary bipedal creature reported behind Bigfoot. Concerning the dogman vs Sasquatch, things get… hairy.

    Godfrey’s volumes are primarily accounts collected by or told directly to her. She almost always takes the stories at face value but will often dig farther into the history of the place or other stated details. Her research took her down the crooked and complex paths of contemporary and historic local legends, folklore, and pop culture content. She was diligent to note the many and various side trips she took during her exploration. This includes a considerable number of topics including evolution & genetics, native wildlife & their diseases, extinct animals, skinwalkers, shapeshifters, indigenous lore, spirit guardians, portals and window areas, interdimensional travel, out-of-time events, werewolf tropes (full moon, silver bullets, etc), occult and religious beliefs, wild men, medical conditions, phantom black dogs, anomalous big cats, hoaxes, phantom kangaroos, ley lines, ghosts, ancient Egypt, sacred sites, and more. It’s a lot. This subject area, in general, is what you might call “a dog’s breakfast.

    In an attempt to frame the potential answers to the “dogman” mystery, Godfrey tried to turn over every stone. Though it’s clear she followed every lead she could, checking books, newspapers and more, the depth of the exploration into the literature is ultimately shallow. Godfrey uses popular paranormal or questionable Fortean sources, even encyclopedias, to follow up with facts. The foundation of the canid humanoid phenomenon is a convoluted and contentious mess of fact and fiction. The answer will not be found in any book. It’s extremely difficult to sort out what idea originated where, and if the source was a real account, a tall tale, or entirely made up by horror story tellers.

    Godfrey is trusting, and she tried very hard to lend a credible framing to the very strange body of dogman anecdotes. However, we can’t ever tell how truly reliable any of the information is – some of the tales are clearly exaggerated, as the level of detail reported is hardly possible under the conditions described. Many of the tales are recounted from decades ago. There is zero evidence that these terrifying creatures exist but it still feels like they could. However, there is some evidence that people have misrepresented wolves, bears, deer, or dogs.

    By remaining open to hearing more reports and advertising this openness via media, ever more accounts came to Linda. She entertained supernatural explanations because the stories were so weird and so voluminous; it all was too much for her to consider dismissing them. While she speculated that there may be a population of wolves or dogs that have grown larger than normal and learned how to walk bipedally, she was aware that this was a stretch. The supernatural slide became more appealing when natural explanations didn’t add up. Much was eventually made of the creatures’ association with burial mounds, cemeteries, and crossroads along with their extraordinary behaviors and abilities. Today, the reputation of the dogman cryptids is one of unnatural evil, danger, and violence, far more than that of Bigfoot.

    Linda Godfrey’s work is well worth reading and remains the best source of the dogman/canid hominoid cryptid nonfiction. Her work was a springboard to the myriad persons, podcasts, and media content that celebrates, exaggerates, and propagates tales of the modern day werewolves.

    Starting in the 1990s, the cryptid scene has been invaded by the dogman/werewolf/canid humanoid.

    The stories took off in the American Midwest, first in Wisconsin – thanks to Linda Godfrey’s coverage of the Beast of Bray Road, followed by the Michigan Dogman legend. Godfrey’s books expanded to include stories of “American werewolves”, encompassing the Rougarou legend of the southern states. Now, the “dogman” or canid humanoid cryptid accounts can be found nearly nationwide.

    There are a percentage of people who deeply believe that humanoid beings with canid characteristics exist across America. The stories are spreading and gaining popularity. Faked videos and images, and supposedly genuine eyewitness accounts, are fueling the belief. These stories are propagated via YouTube, TikTok and podcasts. New videos purporting to show a dogman creature appear every week.

    While numerous non-scientific outlets for dogman stories exist, this week, vertebrate paleozoologist and well-know cryptid scholar Dr. Darren Naish has produced a comprehensive look at the dogman phenomenon on his Tetrapod Zoology blog, and discussed it on both his podcast and the Monster Talk podcast.

    Whatever you believe about the canid humanoid phenomenon, it is popular and widespread enough to demand attention. It is, as they say, “a thing” these days – a true Pop Cryptid that expanded out of a core set of tales (eyewitness and hoaxed) that spread across the US, and is now making its way around the world by the exact means that Pop Cryptids reproduce – via media.

    Most often, the creature is associated not with a zoological animal but with a supernatural, demonic, or magical entity who lurks near human burial sites. Naish explains that the plausibility of an actual dog-man biological entity is nil, but many people who consider the creature to exist as described do not subscribe to a scientific worldview. Instead, they take a spiritual view or are willing to accept an alternative reality that could include such a being (traveling through interdimensional portals, etc.). Why might this be a popular take? You should check out the podcast discussions to find out. The dogman is most definitely a complex socio-cultural idea with legs.

  11. Art imitates life, and life imitates art!

    A volunteer who was getting ready to mail the book "Hombre Perro: Historia de Dos Gatitos" to a prisoner noticed that pages 220-221 are about a prisoner receiving stories in the mail!

  12. #FBF - Spinners memories. Jose Iglesias at bat and on base in 2012; the Dog Man (IYKYK) in 2006. See the smokestack in photo no. 2? That's right next to where I live now. Close enough that a Vlad Guerrerro Sr outfield throw could hit LeLacheur from my building. But, alas, no more Spinners. 😢

  13. Met ‘DogMan’ hebben de Franse regisseur Luc Besson en de Amerikaanse acteur en hoofdrolspeler Caleb Landry Jones zichzelf overtroffen. Ik zag dit jaar ruim honderd bioscoopfilms, maar dit is ongetwijfeld de mooiste en meest ontroerende.

  14. @Blort @PeteyMiami Dog Man is so good. We read three chapters every night and as you can imagine with a dozen chapters per book and a dozen books out we have read each book maany times.

    After having read Cat Kid's Comic Club he is drawing comics all the time. It's awesome.
