"Scientific Explanation"?

[edit]

I'd like to point out that there are absolutely no citations in there, and the phrase "it is the opinion of the author" thrown in at the end makes it rather seem like a personal opinion than anything belonging here. 74.193.15.181 (talk) 23:59, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Started by Cook song?

[edit]

There doesn't seem to be any references on this article about the Michigan Dogman that predate the Cook song. I believe that there are books that refer to sightings that took place before the song but are all of these word of mouth and not from written sources that predate the song? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.35.90.156 (talk) 19:00, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And yet, the article continues to cite "fun facts about Michigan" type books thatmerely repeat made-up stories from Cook's song. The nineteenth-century original sightings were invented by Cook for a fun, tongue-in-cheek song that, as the wiki entry goes on to note, he wrote without any prior awareness of a "Dogman" legend. 142.113.210.115 (talk) 18:58, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
