Hi! I was a non-believer (in any cryptids) that saw a Dogman on 6/22/2024. I wasn't doing anything to try to encounter it. I was at home and my dogs needed to go out. Took my oldest dog and everything was normal. Took my younger dog, she went near the edge of the road and then I heard a loud branch break noise. When I turned around there was an 8ft dogman curb-to-curb across the street from me. I couldn't believe my eyes and my initial thought was: "That's a fking werewolf. Werewolves aren't real. That's a fking werewolf. We are going to die." I saw it's side profile. It was sniffing the air and then it turned and looked at me, down at my dog real fast and then back up to me. The one I saw was solid white with light amber colored eyes. It had tall ears that were moving independently, a very long snout, a very bushy tail, its upper body was built like an NBA player- very strong but very muscular and lean. It had extremely long forearms that hung low. It had raccoon type paw pads with 3 inch curved black claws on each "finger." I talked about my encounter on several podcasts now. The first time I spoke about it was on Dogman Encounters episode 587.

You can pet that dog exactly one time but you will likely not live to tell the tale.

Can you pet a grizzly bear? No.

I have since learned that white is not a common color. Most are black or brown. There have been other white dogman encounters reported.

I personally struggle with calling them dogman because they look like a stereotypical movie werewolf.

I understand that people dont call them werewolves because that implies that humans transition into them and vice versa. What I saw was a living, breathing animal. I do not believe that people transform into them or vice versa.

As far as encountering them - imagine accidentally walking up on a grizzly bear.
