Interesting take on the behavior. A listener writes “In your first interview in podcast 622, I think you and your guest missed something. This was when the puppies were taken into the woods.
You both surmised that the animal was planning to eat the puppies. I am suggesting a more plausible and somewhat spookier possibility.
A sasquatch (as the creature we’re agreeing they are) isn’t likely to be spooked into giving up a meal. This action doesn’t fit the behaviors in the thousands of sightings I have read and heard.
Consider that the sasquatch would have likely observed the behavior of a single human that would come running when the puppies cry. To the sasquatch brain, this makes them an excellent lure.
I believe a sasquatch took the puppies and then hid behind a tree near them, thinking that only one person would come. After all, according to their observations, this was most likely.
When not one but THREE people came after the puppies, including an adult, the sasquatch was surprised and didn’t know what to do.
This might have been a close call of the grimmest kind.”

Omg… that’s Chilling!!!!

That thought is scary as… ! It’s funny, something seemed strange for me too, my mind was going: “why didn’t they just carry the box away? Why didn’t it just pop them in their huge mouths?” Great take who ever you are. ?

You are on the money….!! This is what was going to happen.. like you said they do not give up puppy’s so easy…. Scary to say they least..

Great observation listener… the bait was set but it didn’t go as planned. I think they wanted the children.

That concept makes me shutter.

I have read several encounters of Sasquatches being observed coming into a yard and actually playing with people’s pet dogs. It could also be they wanted their Sasquatch young ones to play with some pups for a while and they may have returned them. They are more curious of our ways, then they are wanting to lure us away and snatch someone, otherwise it would be extremely easy for them to do so.

I have to agree with that and truthfully I’d rather think that was the case then the children being on the menu that night but the sad case is that it’s a possibility too ..

This thought is exactly my first reaction as to why the puppies were in the woods. Good post.

My dad bought and paid for 2 Giant great Danes to protect the farm from these wild beast. I told him they wouldn’t last a week. Boy was I right. From what I could tell, they, “wild people” don’t take kindly to being told they don’t belong around here here.

I don’t think a hard and fast rule of any sort can be attributed to these creatures under any circumstance.
Laura M
Holy Crap!! I’m sure your right..puppies were just bait.
Lethia B
Good point. At first thought, I thought the creature was trying to lure the mother dog out and took the pups for that reason. I think your idea is probably closer to what was going on.

If the creatures are as intelligent as we believe they are, they know that we humans keep other animals as livestock and pets, and that dogs are especially cherished as companions. I believe your listener was onto something here. That said, I am wondering about some rare accounts that suggest some of these creatures also keep canines as pets, or at least, as some humans do, use them as hunting tools. One of the weirder stories I’ve read (I read this on BFRO) was a mother and daughter from Michigan who watched several large feral dogs cross the road in front of them and gather around a sasquatch crouched in a field–they seemed eager to be with the creature, who received them as a master would. Maybe the relationship that these creatures have with canines is a little more variable and complex than we think it is. Many people love dogs as pets, some hate them and see them as vermin, and some even eat them (I lived in Asia half of my adult life and I know this is a sad but true fact.) Could it be that sasquatches have the same differing viewpoints?

Thanks a million for the link Mary D. I do remember this now, although it has been 11 years since I read it. So the Sasquatch can have a relationship with dogs. I wonder if they love their dogs like we love ours, or if it is just a hunting relationship. By taking pups they would be much easier to train. It also makes me pause as so many purported recordings of Sasquatch, especially at night, are also cluttered with dogs barking.
Charles R
Mary I would concur. I too have read, although not much, that sometimes there is a synergism between the canine, including coyotes and the Sasquatch. That is a neat story I may have read some years ago, and have forgotten.

I thought the puppies were heard in the woods AFTER the Squatch departed? That would mean it was originally thinking “easy snacks” before the car pulled up. JM2c

I thought about this after it was mentioned that the puppies were in different spots in the woods, not altogether.
Lisa B
Love your pic Denise! ?

Had way too much time on my hands that day….but ty my dear.

Can Bigfoots get distemper, heart worm or rabies? If so, maybe they know to feed their little ones a puppy that has had it’s shots. If they can contract those diseases, keeping feral dogs could be fatal to them.
Ed A
Maybe the Bigfoot didn’t want hear puppies whimpering all night long!!!!!Occam’s razor anyone
Daniel H
Interesting thought.
What if it was a dogman recruiting?

Heard a story once a Sasquatch tore a door off a travel trailer to get to mother dog and her pups. It took place east of Kansas Oklahoma in a development called Flint Ridge around 1998.
There is still a native american tribe at one ceremony a year that still eat puppies. Dogs are bred especially for ceremony.
