Other canine creature reports map

Reports of unusual dog-, wolf- or coyote-like animals that are not described as upright "dogmen". This is a catch-all bucket, filed from the animal's own description in the source.

We map claims, not creatures. A case is what some source says someone saw or heard, with the link to that source. It is not proof that anything was there, and a retelling counts once, not as a second sighting.

By the numbers

1,085 cases on the map, 629 of them first-hand (the witness telling it). A case may stand on several documents; copies and reprints are not confirmations.

Best-documented cases

Ranked by independent sources first, then documents, then first-hand accounts. This says how well a claim is documented, not whether it is true.
