It is known that bigfoot and dogs do not get along. And it always goes bad for man's best friend when they go after the hairy monster. The following is an article from The Humboldt Times, Oct. 19, 1958, that Roger Patterson put in his book...
NEW BLUFF CREEK MYSTERY PUZZLES INDIAN:
4 DOGS FOUND RIPPED TO PIECES
The Humboldt Times, Oct. 19, 1958
An Indian who works near the Humboldt-Del Norte county line believes he may have discovered signs of a "Bigfoot" temper fit, a Eureka man told The Humboldt Times yesterday.
Harold C. Goodwin, 66, said Curtis Mitchell, an Indian who works for him, discovered the mutilated bodies of four dogs last Sunday evening.
He told me they looked like they'd been ripped apart," Goodwin said at his home just off the Elk River road about five miles south of Eureka. "And the bodies were still warm."
The Indian told Goodwin that all of the dogs had been torn apart and one of them had apparently been slammed against a tree. No footprints were found and Goodwin said the Indian didn't stick around" to investigate after finding the dogs’ bodies.
Goodwin, a superintendent for the Sharp Construction Company, has been working in the Bluff Creek area on a concrete bridge about two miles south of the county line for the past four weeks.
A Humboldt county resident since 1898, Goodwin said he "used to think the big footprints were just a joke" but now he’s convinced there is some sort of human creature wandering through the northern California wilderness. "I think it's the straight goods."
He added an eerie note to the speculation about Bigfoot: and the fellow who owned those dogs might be lying up there someplace, too."
The construction worker said the discovery of the dogs has changed the minds of many skeptics working in the area. "This," he said, "is when all of us old-timers start to believe."
Goodwin said he had sometimes been staying on the job over the weekends because it was such a long drive back to Eureka. "I think I'll be coming home from now on, though," he added firmly.
