Dogman sighting near Oakridge, Oregon (1960)
Account
A child was exploring alone in the woods near home and climbing on boulders. A boulder shifted and trapped the child's foot, preventing movement. A large dog-faced figure is said to have lifted the stone, carried the child to the edge of a clearing, and left the child where family could find the child.
