This strange animal was reported from Kentucky in the 19th Century. The animal seems to have been vaguely described, with a woolly coat and a bushy tail. The curious thing was it would only eat dogs, at least most times, hence its peculiar name of "dog-eater" in local lore. Although seen by a number of witnesses, no very clear identification of its species was made. Perhaps it was a species totally unknown to the witnesses. Dogs that it encountered seemed terrified of it. This information comes from one of the fascinating reports in Adam Benedict's book Monsters in Print.
