The Devil of Dartmoor!

Has anyone seen this on GMTV?

It's a flippin' dog!

They've had experts on TV saying it could be some form of large cat, but it doesn't look like a cat, they even said it could be a wild boar To me, it's clearly a dog!

People have phoned in saying it's a labradoodle, it looks like a newfie, I thought at first it looked a bit like a wolfhound cross...

Some say it's one of the dogs from the ghost pack of devil dogs that roam Dartmoor looking for people to drag to Hell

Looks like a stray to me...

I saw some of it I thought it was either a Wolfhound x or Bearded collie x.

Oh yeah! Bearded collie was the other I was thinking about.

They said it moved like a cat... well I know at least two dogs that stalk prey like cats...

I thought it looked a bit like a dog that's walked in our park, I think that may have bearded collie in it...

It's the Hound of the Baskervilles de de derrrr!
I know someone reported seeing a lion and it turned out to be a goldie who'd had his body shaved but not round his neck so it looked like a mane lol!

we had reports a couple of years back of a "Big Black Beast" roaming around my area - they decided it was a huge black cat, possibly a panther (like all these stories are!)

Then one day they showed you a picture of it in the woods, was really far away so it was just a silhouette - my OH said to me "what does that look like to you?" and my immediate reaction was a black lab! He said he thought exactly the same, as did the rest of my family

I've only ever seen footage once that was very clearly a Black Panther and that, I think, was from East Anglia, all the other's I've seen are clearly misindentifications.

yeah I have to agree a wolfhound x was my idea....

Not a cat nor a boar

And as for cat like motions, well you just want to see Ben trying to get to a plate of pizza without being seen Or trying to stalkk a bumble bee or butterfly!!!

ANd it appears there are lots of people at the top right of the photo, so it doesnt look nearly as big as it did this morninmg, but still not feline IMO!!!!
