Account

A couple driving home late at night saw a dark, shaggy, broad-bodied creature cross the road in front of their car. It moved upright but hunched over in quick strides and disappeared into thick brush on the far side. They slowed to look but saw no further sign, noting a barking dog on the side where it had emerged.
