The Dogman Triangle: Werewolves in the Lone Star State
Pro-tip: Should you ever encounter a Dogman in the wild, simply pretend to throw a stick, and then run the other direction.
The Dogman is a type of creature known as a Cryptid, which is an animal that is found in stories, one that some believe to exist, and others claim to have actually seen, but that has never actually been proven to exist, like Bigfoot, except Bigfoot is definitely real.
A creature of legend most commonly found in Texas and across the Southwest, The Dogman is mostly known for stalking people who find themselves out alone in the wilderness at night, but there are some claims that it will also try to lure people into the forest by using the voice of someone they know. Another oft-mentioned piece of Dogman lore is that you can’t outrun the Dogman… however, if we’re being honest here, that may be more of a commentary on the general physical condition of the populace of most rural areas in Middle America…
So, the “documentary” in question, titled The Dogman Triangle: Werewolves in the Lone Star State dares to ask the question… Are Dogmen real? Do they exist in the lone star state? If so, why do they mostly seem to appear in a 700 mile triangle between San Antonio, Houston, and Austin? Beyond that, what even is the Dogman? Is there only one DogMAN, or are there multiple DogMEN? And are there any Dogwomen? Also, perhaps most importantly, who’s a good Dogman? Are you a good Dogman? Does the Dogman want a treat? Does he? Can he sit like a good Dogman? Yes, he can! Yes, he can! What a good Dogman!
Aaron Deese is the man who has made the “study” of the Dogman his main hobby, having written a self-published book about the subject, and here in the documentary, he joins “investigator” Shannon LeGro (On the Trail of Bigfoot, On the Trail of UFOs: Dark Skies, and On the Trail of UFOs: Night Visitors) On the Trail of The Dogman as they journey across the state of Texas, questioning dozens of “witnesses” all of whom have seen something that defies their own understanding, something primordial and horrifying, something that looks like a massive, upright-walking canid of some kind, something that was probably just a bear… or more likely, a regular-ass old dog.
Or maybe it was just a shadow after a 24 pack of Lone Star beer…
One question that I noticed was definitely left unaswered by our intrepid “investigators” in The Dogman Triangle: Werewolves in the Lone Star State is the reason(s) behind the obvious correlation between Dogman “experts” and the kind of people who really enjoy the Texas Country-Trash Cowpunk Rock scene. Because of this, the only plausible explanation is that once you express an initial interest in the field of cryptozoology, a package soon arrives in the mail that contains a sleeveless t-shirt, a whole bunch of giant silver skull rings, a bad facial hair how-to guide, and a heavy metal cowboy hat.
Spoiler: They did not find the Dogman.
