Our connection to animals is ancient, intimate, and complex. Humans have worshiped them, sacrificed them, lived with them, and been buried with them. But folklore from all over the world hints at a darker connection, and it just might be true.

That opener was interesting, very similar to a story from my own childhood. About 25 years ago I lived in Japan on a military base. Often times my friends and I would wander off base for adventure. One day we were wandering through a forest, one we had frequented often to get to a local shop. We came across what appeared to be a dog about 50 ft ahead of us. As we got closer it turned toward us. I remember one of us yelled "What is that!??" it might have been me. All 5 of us screamed out and ran. We ran all the way back home. When we finally stopped and were able to catch our breath I asked the others what they saw. Most agreed that they couldn't exactly point out what it was but there was something wrong with its neck and head. I then told them what I saw. My memory of it has never changed and neither has my story which I've told numerous times, even today I see it clearly in my head. It was a dog with a human head. I remember laying awake that night. I thought to myself that since it was part canine, it would have a strong sense of smell and it could track me back home. I didn't get much sleep that night.

This is one of my favorite stories. Well written, and on a personal favorite topic of mine.
