For decades, reports of a mysterious upright canine creature-commonly known as the Dogman-have emerged from forests, farmlands, highways, and remote wilderness areas across North America. Described as towering, intelligent, and deeply unsettling, the Dogman has become one of the most enduring and controversial subjects in modern anomalous research.

Prevo outlines proven techniques for conducting witness interviews, evaluating physical evidence, assessing credibility, documenting encounters, and maintaining objective investigative standards.
