well this animal seems to be a dog of some sort of mongrel dog… it looks a little like a sharpei (cant spell it) mixed with a fluffier dog like a husky… it looks like any other dog to me just a cross breed….a mutt… it has a sharpei shaped body and a huskies fur and facial features… this dog is NOT a beast it is just a mixed breed!!

I think its interesting that no one has commented on the creatures teeth, I personally think they look like the teeth of an herbivore rather than any carnivore. Thus everyones claims that “Oh it killed my dog! Oh it killed my cat!! Oh its a vicious murderous beast of the apocolypse!!” are completely assinine. Do herbivores kill other animals? Not that I know of, no. Because what reasons do they have? They wouldn’t eat their victim, they obviously don’t have the right teeth for it. Also if this creature really does have flat teeth (herbivore teeth) as I believe, then that kind of kills all your thoughts on “Oh its just a deformed wolf. Oh its a hybrid wolf/poodle/pit bull.” Anyway… These are just the thoughts of a 16 year old punk… Oh and personally I have a few theories on this creatures origins, none of which I’m going to say, but anyway… I’m done.

The saga continues, a possible cryptid maybe.

I myself strongly doubt it’s a ‘mutant’ as the people are claiming because looking at it there are no noticable psyical differentiations from a normal canine.

They should find a new word. It may be a mongrel of some sort, maybe a wolf/dog or something. Who knows. It is interesting though, that this could be linked with the animal slayings of the area.

I say forget the publicity. It’s not a cryptid. Most things believed to be turn out to be real animals, or unknown ones, anyway.

You know, I like the idea of a mysterious raging beastie as much as anyone but, unfortunately, not many REAL oddities have turned up in the last, say, couple hundred years. And so it is with the appropriate amount of cynicism and incredulity that I must declare the expired animal in question another “not nearly half way to even getting around to coming close to being something that might be remotely considered partially similar in some way to anything that the normal person could mistake for an unknown type of previously not seen beastie”. It’s, dare I say OBVIOUSLY, a Chow/Akita mix or Akita/Husky mix. That might account for the blue eyes which are, quite frankly, the ONLY slightly remarkable thing about this poor dead doggy.

No one ever said this animal could be identified as THE one that was responsible for the various attacks on canines in the area so how could we speculate on that other than to say it MIGHT have been a scappy little booger when last breathing.

The misshapen teeth are unremarkable as well, given that a feral dog or one that had been long neglected could be in basically ANY state of abnormality including being in possession of curly choppers.

Since our departed subject is such, it would be difficult to ascertain anything about its temperament such as whether or not it might have been dangerous, aggressive or whether or not it, indeed, might have been feral at all. For all we know now, it may have had a big ole bowl of Eukanuba just prior to breaking free of its worn out collar and ultimately ending up in its current sorry state. Decomposition and predation can, in just a day or two in hot weather, reduce a thick, shiny black coat of luxurious fur to the disheveled, densely matted, dull and insect infested mess seen in the photos. A sad comment on the irresponsible nature of some people who purchase dogs to “enhance” their own selfish egos, yes. Previously unknown mutant beastie dog from the depths of hell? Hardly…

Next…

The news hit the swedish media now.

I gotta say it has a strange long neck, strange hyena like tail, and human like eyes. It’s a mix between a dog and something, question is what is the something.

This is no wolf or wolf hybrid, or coydog- the snout is too small and the legs are too short. This may be a chow mix, but even chows have longer snouts than this. This possible dog is very odd- its snout is very very short and its jaw and neck area is very short and shaped very differently for a dog of any kind. Its possible that it is malformed or genetically mutated. would sure love to see the dna workup on this one!
