Maybe it's just an ugly Bigfoot?

There is a picture I found of the supposed Dogman and he was kinda ugly. LOL

Like Bigfoot, if it was really out there, we would've found some kind of evidence.

I like to keep an open mind because there are plenty of new discoveries every day, so you never know.

I write about anthropomorphic canines, so I can see this fellow really existing easily.

I might think twice about going into the woods if he really does!

I'm sad to admit I've never heard of the Michigan Dogman. I must have grown up too far south of his territory.

It wasn't something I had heard of either until I started this newsletter and began looking up Michigan related cryptids. I've been in Michigan my whole life. Maybe I'm too far north in Michigan. The Dogman is a resident of the Mitten.

Dogman doesn’t go near the capitol or across the bridge.

I don’t blame him for not crossing the bridge. Lots of hunters up here.

I agree, I can't be sure dogman exists, but it's certainly a possibility that gets overlooked.

All it will take is one cryptid being confirmed as real.

Exactly lol. Yet there will still be non-believers out there

Since he's bipedal and so tall... I can't help wonder (like Mark Hunter in the comment below me) if the Dogman is actually some subset of Bigfoot?

That’s an interesting question given that people say the head is very dog-like where as Bigfoot’s head is very human/ape-like. Maybe the Dogman is a mutation or deformity of Bigfoot.

I have heard of the Dogman, but unfortunately, I think I live in too suburban an environment to see it.

However, I did once chase a raccoon away from my garbage can (or, rather, watch it until it got bored and sort of dripped down off the side of the can like a hairy Slinkie), so hope springs eternal.

I think I'm too far north for the Dogman. He must not be a Yooper. LOL
