ROFL ok thanks for that mental picture Sammy. I think.
It sure as hell wasn't a cat that birthed that thing, unless it was one of those mysterious black panthers that's been sighted around those areas. If it was, then that dog must've been drunk before he decided he was going to try to give a panther a booty call. Somewhere around dartmoor there's a blind, 2 legged, 1 eared dog limping around...

*UPDATE*
Demon of Dartmoor? That's just another shaggy dog story
· School cook says 'beast' is her pet Newfoundland
· Blow for monster watchers as myth is shattered
Esther Addley
Saturday August 4, 2007
Guardian
It was the most ferocious creature seen in Britain since the last terrifying unidentified beast, prompting mild alarm among ramblers and high excitement among tabloid newspaper editors. The so-called Demon of Dartmoor, variously identified as a bear, wolverine or panther, was photographed on the moor several weeks ago and described as "terrifying" and "really fierce" - the cause, it was said, of a rash of sheep savaging in the area.
Last night, however, the disturbed of Devon were sleeping easy in their beds once more. A 34-year-old school cook from Heathfield, near Newton Abbot, came forward to say that she knew the identity of the monster: her two-year-old dog Troy.
"I was in stitches when I read that someone thought Troy was the beast of Dartmoor," Lucinda Reid said yesterday. "I spotted that it was him right away, you can tell by the shape and the way he is walking. Even some of my friends were ringing asking if the creature was Troy."
It is the second blow in a week for Britain's monster watchers, after the revelation that a supposed great white shark photographed off the coast of Cornwall was in all likelihood an entirely harmless basking shark.
That revelation came after the case of a photograph taken in May of a "cat-like creature" on Bodmin moor in Cornwall, favoured site for beast enthusiasts. It was later identified as a squirrel.
Ms Reid, who lives 10 minutes from Dartmoor, said passersby were occasionally alarmed by her 12-stone Newfoundland, but described him as "a big softie". The breed, originally working dogs from the Canadian province, is known for its docile temperament.
"A lot of people can be a bit afraid of him at first because he is so big and black. I suppose from a distance he may not immediately look like a dog," she said. "Newfoundlands move very slowly, not like normal dogs, because they are so big. We have got family in Canada and they say Newfoundlands sometimes get shot by people who mistake them for bear cubs. Thankfully we don't have to worry about that in Devon."
Reports of beasts roaming the countryside have increased over recent years, with more than 10,000 supposed sightings since 2000, according to Beas****ch UK. They included 5,931 big cats, more than 1,000 wild boar and 51 wallabies.
Since the Surrey puma was first sighted in the 1960s, unidentified felines have been reported across Britain, including the Beast of Brentwood and the Wildcat of the Wolds.
While many have been exposed as fakes - there has been a recent spate involving cuddly toys, say enthusiasts - documented cases of wild cats do exist. Hairs found in Lincolnshire in 2003 were found to belong to a leopard; two years later a lynx was captured in Cricklewood by the RSPCA. A police report released last year confirmed that a cat shot in Norwich in 1991 was also a lynx. The animals are believed to be exotic pets that were released or escaped.
Chris Mullins, founder of Beas****ch, said he knew of at least five big cats living close to his Leicestershire home.
But he remained unconvinced by Ms Reid's identification of the Dartmoor Demon. Scrutinising a photograph yesterday he said: "To be honest, going without the tail, it looks like one of those shaggy cattle."

To be honest, I can't see how the animal could possibly be someone's pet dog- I'm really surprised about how people were saying in the article about the resemblance to the woman's dog and how they all thought it was definately him. I don't really know what a Newfoundland looks like, but I can't see how the weird creature in the photo can look like one. Perhaps they are just trying to give a "normal" explanation for the animal's presence. If it is an ordinary dog though, it is certainly a very strange-looking one...

Yeah Lily, oddly enough, nobody in that thread over there has made mention of it yet.
OK! Here's the prime suspect, Troy
This photo came from BBC News, it was the only pic they had. Rather a lousy shot if you ask me.
These pics below are NOT Troy. But they're Newfoundlands, to give you a better idea of what the breed looks like.
It was hard to find pics of them that weren't groomed to perfection. In my opinion, a dog running loose out in the country is not going to have every hair in place. It's probably going to be a bit shaggy looking from rolling around and such. Which might make the dog look bigger than it really is.
I still want it to be a hell hound tho

I still think the "dog" looks more like a bison in the first photo- I was surprised that a Newfoundland is such a well-built looking dog, but the first photo still seems to show something quite different (to me anyway...).
