My Search for Dogman Jim Hoffmann

"'What the hell is a Dogman? That cannot be real!' This was my reaction when I first heard . . . [a] podcast back in October of 2018. Believe me, I actually laughed for several weeks when the topic of Dogman crossed my mind. It was that unbelievable to me. So . . . What is a Dogman? Is it real? There is no clear definition of a Dogman. Wikipedia does not even directly reference it, although there are pages for Werewolf, Beast of Bray Road, and Michigan Dogman. My best definition is that a Dogman is essentially a creature, flesh and blood and/or spiritual - depending on the interpretation, which looks like a wolf or dog, can walk on two legs like a man, is scary, and can be dangerous as Hell. Think: Lon Chaney, Jr. in 'The Wolf Man' (1941) or Hugh Jackman in 'Van Helsing' (2004). Either way, monsters are apparently real." (From Chapter I) Dogman is nature's greatest cryptid, and this work examines why. Are you ready to take the journey with me?
