Dawn of the Dogman goes beyond the rumors to meet the researchers and journalists who first chronicled the legend, and the witnesses who continue to cross paths with the impossible creature. Since the late 1980s, the sightings have continued, leading many to ask if the Michigan Dogman is more than just a story.
This documentary centers on the personal account of author and researcher Linda Godfrey, who first brought the legend into the public eye, and serves as a successor to the 2018 film The Bray Road Beast.
Dawn of the Dogman is directed by Seth Breedlove, whose previous work includes The Mothman of Point Pleasant, On the Trail of Bigfoot, American Werewolves and over two dozen other full length productions.
For decades, the Michigan Dogman has haunted the forests and backroads of the Great Lakes State—a towering, wolf-like creature said to walk on two legs, terrifying those who cross its path. This gripping documentary delves deep into the legend, exploring chilling eyewitness accounts, historical records, and never-before-seen interviews with the late cryptozoologist and author Linda Godfrey, whose research helped bring the Dogman into the public eye. Through expert analysis, and stunning reenactments, Dawn of the Dogman uncovers the truth behind one of America’s most enduring cryptid mysteries.
Dawn of the Dogman is exclusively on streaming platforms, including Apple TV, Prime Video and Google Play, on December 9, 2025.
