Account

The witness went outside in the afternoon to retrieve plant pots from the side of the house while a neighboring dog barked. Something unseen in dense brush thrashed vegetation, produced a loud growl, and moved away with heavy pounding steps that shook the ground and broke branches. The witness retreated to a shed and then to the house for a shotgun, and later noted a strong musky odor at the residence.
