The Michigan Dogman is a werewolf or werewolf-like creature first reported in 1887 in Wexford County, Michigan. Sightings have been reported from multiple locations in Michigan, primarily in the northwest quadrant of the Lower Peninsula. In 1987, the legendary Michigan Dog Man became famous when a WTCM FM player recorded a song about the creature and reported sightings.
Cook recorded the song with keyboard accompaniment and assigned it to Bob Farley. After playing the music, Cook received calls from listeners saying they had encountered a similar being. In the weeks following Cook's first broadcast, it was the most requested song on the radio. He also sold the song's tape for $4 and donated the proceeds from the single to an animal shelter. Over the years, Cook received more than 100 reports of the creature's existence. Cook later added verses to the song in 1997 after hearing words of an animal being broken into by a strange dog at a cabin in Luther, Michigan.
The first known sightings of Michigan Dogman occurred in Wexford County in 1887 when two loggers saw a creature that described it as having a human body and a dog's head.
In 1938, in Paris, Michigan, Robert Fortney said he was attacked by five stray dogs, one of which was walking on two legs. Reports of similar creatures came from Allegan County in the 1950s and Manistee and Cross Village in 1967.
