Day of Random Thoughts. Today. DOGMAN. What is it? Or is it?

Suddenly it seems lately that you can't go on the internet or check your emails or messages or group posts without seeing something about Dogman. Heck, it's even on the news. Haven't done much in-depth research into the subject. I've read some encounters, read a few articles, and been sent a few photos. Some of it looks hokey, some downright spooky, and some quite compelling. So, how does it connect to the whole Bigfoot picture?
