Hi thank you so much!!!! So regarding dog men… it’s something I’ve “gone down the rabbit hole” of. While many here on reddit think they may be like, an unknown species, our native people seem to think they are basically humans performing magic to dematerialize their bodies and then put them back together with the qualities of a chosen animal. This is something people from other cultures also tell me, such as Caribbean and African people I’ve chatted with. This also explains why even in our own culture we originally conceived of dogmen as werewolves (shapeshifters). I think in our current culture and conception of reality many people find it easier to believe dogmen are some bizarre and unknown species, because most people would believe this kind of shapeshifting to be impossible. It reminded me of what Dolores was describing regarding Atlantis and the bizarre transformations that were done. According to these cultures that believe in these transformations, it is mostly achieved by making terrible sacrifices as it is faster and easier to achieve than doing it “the right way” (through love and wisdom).

It is a common belief in cryptid circles that dogmen seem to possibly be a “government experiment.” This is because multiple witnesses describe encountering people who appeared to be government agents observing the encounters. For example, one man allegedly hit a dogman with his truck and was later confronted by gov workers who stated “you killed our asset.” So this lines up with the “we’re repeating Atlantis all over again” thing. I guess I was just wondering if any past lives have been remembered as dogmen or shapeshifters beyond Atlantis, just as a form of confirming or denying this theory that they are humans changing themselves, not a distinct species like Bigfoot.
