Deputy Faces Dogman - Ep.143 - January 16, 2026

Deputy Faces Dogman Dano sits down with Mike, a retired sheriff’s deputy from Alabama, who shares a chilling encounter that unfolded while he was actively responding to a 911 call reporting a violent animal attack. Dispatch advised that a vicious, unknown animal was attacking a group of Pitbulls, and Mike was en route to the scene expecting a dangerous but explainable situation. While traveling to the location, Mike witnessed something he never anticipated. A large white Dogman suddenly crossed the road directly in front of his patrol cruiser. He watched as the creature ran up a small hill and disappeared into an open field. Acting on instinct and training, Mike stopped his cruiser, exited the vehicle, and gave chase on foot. As he reached the top of the hill, the situation changed dramatically. The creature had stopped. It turned around and faced him, standing motionless in the open field. Mike describes the moment as intense and unsettling—an intelligent presence locking eyes with him in broad daylight. Drawing on decades of law enforcement experience, he explains why he knew immediately this was not a bear, not a large dog, and not a misidentified animal. Mike breaks down the creature’s size, movement, posture, and awareness, as well as the events surrounding the reported animal attack that initially brought him to the area. This episode explores a rare daylight Dogman encounter, the credibility of a trained law enforcement witness, and the psychological impact of pursuing something unknown during an active emergency response. Calm, measured, and firsthand—this is an encounter told by someone trained to assess threats and trust his instincts when lives may be at risk. Sit back—and hold on.
