Two Dogs That Tracked Bigfoot

Numerous historical references show that dogs are terrified of bigfoot creatures.

Tales of high-level tracking dogs sent in on fresh track lines often have the dogs returning with their tails tucked between their legs.

An interesting report comes from near Toledo Bend reservoir on the Texas-Louisiana border. A man and his Chesapeake Bay retriever were walking into an area that had recent reports looking for signs.

They saw what looked like a stump in the distance but something about it bothered him. After further examination he realized it was not a stump but a bigfoot creature.

This sounds exactly like what was described in the book Bigfoot Sightings of East Central Alabama.

A man saw one walk into a pasture and then when it noticed it had been spotted it squatted amongst tree stumps.

“Who or whatever it was had squatted. Its butt sat touching the ground, its feet were close together and its knees were pulled tightly to its chest almost even with its chin. Its upper arms were close to its side (ribs), its forearms went backwards towards its shoulders, and its hands were open flat against either side of its head. It looked as if its head was pulled down into its shoulders with its chin pressed tightly against its chest.”

This was virtually the same description this eyewitness gave but there is an additional note of interest.

The above mentioned Chesapeake Bay retriever gave chase to the creature. This “Chessie” as they are called went after it for a distance until finally its owner called it back for fear of its life.

I had a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, who while leashed, followed a line of tracks deep into a thicket before I led us out of there before darkness fell.

I have always believed that not every dog breed would necessarily be afraid of them. You have dogs like pit bulls that are bred to catch wild hogs and Rhodesian ridgebacks that pursue lions. 

Dogo Argentinos were bred to hunt jaguars which aren’t exactly sweetheart animals. Chessies are super brave, intense dogs and would not back down as quickly as say a Walker hound might for example.

It is interesting that two different Chessies took pursuit in different encounters.

Maybe they should become the de-facto sasquatch sniffer. If anyone’s serious about developing trailing dogs for research purposes it would be worth a try.
