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.”
