Bigfoot Story Of The Day

  In Low Gap, Johnson County, Arkansas, 2005, two boys hunt for coons with their dog. One boy test fires his little .22 rifle to make sure it's sighted in. At the second shot, both boys hear a very loud, monkey-like scream from a dense thicket about 80 yards away. Alarmed, they walk back home and get their father who sensibly comes out with a 30-06 rifle and a .357 magnum revolver. They see that the dog has treed the coon up a cliff. It's very late, and they call to the dog but he won't leave the coon. They all leave, knowing the dog will return home. Next morning, the dog is lying out in the yard. The father approaches the dog to put him back into his pen and feed him. He reaches for the dog, and for the first time, the dog snaps at him. Finally, the man is able to safely pick up the dog and put him back into his pen. The father notices that the dog has his ears torn and acts as if he is hurt. That could have been done by the coon or the creature that made the loud monkey-like scream.
