This BIGFOOT Raised a DOGMAN Pup, What Happened Next Was Extremely Terrifying

What Happens When a Bigfoot Raises Its Natural Enemy?

My name is Marcus Bellwood, and I am 71 years old. For nearly three decades, I have carried a secret that I never intended to share. But with age comes the realization that some truths are too important to vanish with you. What I witnessed in the forests of northern Idaho in 1994 still keeps me awake at night. If you’re reading this, you deserve to know what really happens in the woods when humans aren’t watching.

Into the Deep Woods

It was late September 1994. I’d just finalized my divorce and needed distance from people, so when a private conservation group hired me to conduct wildlife surveys in the Clearwater National Forest, I accepted immediately. The work was solitary, the pay decent, and the forest—ancient, endless, and dark—promised a silence I desperately craved.

My base camp was 15 miles from the nearest logging road. The forest here was old-growth: towering pines and firs, moss that hung like curtains, and a perpetual twilight beneath the canopy. After three weeks of cataloging deer populations, bear activity, and ecosystem health, I was starting to feel at peace for the first time in years.

That’s when I found the prints.

The Tracks

They were massive. Seventeen inches long, seven wide, perfectly formed with five toes—human-shaped, but impossibly large. I’d seen the stories, the blurry photos, the campfire tales. But kneeling beside those fresh impressions, seeing the depth, the individual toe marks, I felt something primal twist in my gut. I should have left. But I was a surveyor, and this was wildlife, wasn’t it?

So, I followed the tracks.

They led northwest, deeper into a part of the forest where the air grew colder, the light dimmer, and the birdsong faded to nothing. After two miles, the silence was so complete I could hear my own heartbeat. Every animal in the woods knew better than to be here.

Then I heard it.

A sound low and rumbling, like distant thunder, rising into something that almost sounded like speech. Complex, layered vocalizations echoed through the trees. I crept forward, heart pounding, and what I saw through the undergrowth froze me in place.

The Impossible Scene

There was a Bigfoot in the clearing—enormous, over eight feet tall, covered in reddish-brown hair. But it wasn’t alone. In its arms, it cradled something small, maybe twenty pounds, with dark gray fur, a long snout, and pointed ears. Not a bear cub—a dogman pup.

I’d heard the stories: dogmen, upright canine predators, the stuff of nightmares for hunters and loggers. Yet here, a Bigfoot was holding one, grooming it, feeding it raw meat from a leather pouch. The pup yipped and whined, nuzzling its caretaker. The Bigfoot cooed in deep, gentle sounds, running massive fingers through the pup’s fur.

I watched, hidden, for over an hour. Every instinct screamed at me to run, but I couldn’t look away. Everything I thought I knew about these creatures was wrong. Weren’t they enemies? Here was a Bigfoot raising a dogman like its own child.

Weeks of Observation

Over the next three weeks, I tracked them—always at a distance, always careful. The Bigfoot had built a shelter, more sophisticated than a nest, woven from branches and moss. The pup grew quickly, learning to crack open rocks for grubs, to stalk prey. But as it grew, it changed. Its teeth came in sharp and hungry. It wanted more meat, became aggressive, snapping at the Bigfoot when food was slow to come. At night, its howls echoed through the trees, chilling me to the bone.

The Bigfoot was patient, but I saw the worry in its posture. It hunted more, bringing back deer, even elk. The pup’s demands grew. I saw it kill a rabbit—cornering, killing, then playing with the dying animal in a way that was disturbingly cruel. The Bigfoot tried to warn it, but the pup ignored its parent.

I realized then: this wasn’t just a cross-species adoption. The Bigfoot was raising something it couldn’t control.

The Turning Point

November arrived, and the weather turned cold. The pup was now nearly three months old, seventy or eighty pounds, three feet tall on its hind legs. Its features became more canine, its eyes sharper, more intelligent. Sometimes it moved on all fours like a wolf, sometimes upright like a human. I saw it hunt with increasing skill—and increasing cruelty.

The Bigfoot tried to teach it boundaries, showing it the limits of their territory. The pup rebelled, pushing past, ignoring calls to return. The Bigfoot would retrieve it, making agitated, almost desperate sounds. The pup began to challenge its parent, baring its teeth, responding with guttural snarls.

Then, on November 12th, everything changed.

The Fight

I was observing from a stand of pines, two hundred yards away. The Bigfoot was showing the pup the boundaries again, pointing, vocalizing. The pup ignored it, darting past. The Bigfoot called it back, more forcefully. The pup turned, and with no warning, attacked—biting deep into the Bigfoot’s leg.

The Bigfoot roared, a sound so loud it shook the trees. Birds exploded from the canopy. The Bigfoot grabbed the pup and threw it against a tree. The dogman’s eyes glowed red with rage. They fought—parent and child, protector and predator. The Bigfoot tried not to hurt the pup, but the dogman fought to kill.

The fight lasted minutes, but felt like hours. The Bigfoot finally pinned the pup, holding it by the throat until it went still. When released, the dogman backed away, eyes wary, no longer seeing the Bigfoot as a parent, but as a rival. Then it ran into the woods. The Bigfoot gathered its few belongings and left in the opposite direction, making mournful, heartbroken sounds.

The Dogman’s Message

That night, as I packed up to leave, the dogman found me. It circled my tent, heavy footsteps in the underbrush. Then it stopped at the entrance. Through the tent fabric, I saw its shadow, hunched and massive. Then it spoke.

The words were mangled, filtered through a throat not made for speech, but clear enough:
“Watching. See you watching.”

I froze in terror. The next morning, as I fled, I saw it standing at the edge of the clearing, upright, eyes glowing red in the dawn. I never returned to Idaho.

Aftermath

In the years that followed, I tracked reports from that forest—livestock killed with surgical precision, deer hung in trees, hikers vanishing without a trace. The pattern was unmistakable. The dogman I’d watched grow was now the apex predator, hunting with intelligence and cruelty.

I documented everything—photos, notes, maps—afraid to go public, afraid of what would happen if people tried to hunt it, or if the truth was ignored. I shared my secret with my nephew, David, a wildlife biologist, so the record wouldn’t die with me. We agreed to keep it hidden, for now.

But the guilt remains. I watched a Bigfoot try to raise a dogman pup with love and patience, only to be driven away by the very creature it tried to save. The dogman learned from its parent—how to hunt, how to observe, even a few words of human speech—but it became something worse than a natural predator: a killer with cunning and no empathy.

Regret and Reflection

Sometimes, I wonder if the Bigfoot survived, if it found others, or if it wandered the woods alone, mourning the loss of the only family it had left. I wonder if the dogman remembers the lessons its parent tried to teach, or if it hunts, alone and violent, shaped by both love and rejection.

What I saw in those woods changed everything I believed about monsters and mysteries. Some things, no matter how much you want to help, are destined to become what nature intended. Sometimes, love isn’t enough to overcome what’s written in the blood.

If you ever find yourself in the forests of northern Idaho, remember this:
There are things out there watching. And some of them remember.
