These shares involve dogs in the story—sled dogs, pets, and working animals that react, protect, track, or suffer when something is outside the cabin or on the trail.
Common threads are animal alarms, dogs as early warning, and sometimes tragic outcomes for the dog. Browse these shares if you want the canine reaction as a central part of the report.
While hiking, a mother and her young son were terrorized by several Sasquatches next to Bertha Creek on the Kenai Peninsula. As her son, who was carrying their small dog, was crying and sobbing, a smaller juvenile was mimicking back his screams and cries to perfection. Sadly, her son has been severely traumatized and she's having trouble looking for some professional help from someone who'd be open minded and sympathetic to this experience. This incident happened last week in late May of 2022.
While searching the woods just north of Willow along the Susitna River, a property owner followed a game trail across the shallows, hoping to find any trace of his senior dog that had gone missing a week prior. Hearing movement in a dense patch of alders about 30 yards away, he stepped closer, only to be met with a deep, unnatural, guttural growl. As he cautiously backed away toward the riverbank, something massive began hurling debris from the thicket. To his absolute horror, a severed piece of his missing dog's leg was thrown from the brush, landing directly at his feet.
Ron shared his experience of a terrifying encounter on a camping trip with his young daughter that occurred south of the Denali Highway. Please note, this is one of several shares where I had audio issues.
This encounter shared by former Alaskan Don is one of the saddest I've recounted so far on this channel, especially for dog lovers. This story also supports the case that The Hairy Man is no friend of ours, and as recounted in stories all over, they have a real disdain for man's best friend.
