"Dogman; The Motion Picture" - Michigan Dogman Movie Premeire Tonight.

Movie poster for "Dogman"

The first movie about Northwestern Lower Michigan's "Dogman" premiers tonight at Michael Moore's State Theatre in Traverse City, Michigan. Documentary, or fiction? The film is made by Rich Brauer, a filmmaker who has made several recent movies starring Ernest Borgnine (yes, Ernie is not only doing Spongebob as "Mermaidman").  The official Dogman blog has a page about this movie. No word on whether the Dogman in the movie morphs into a Quilleute Indian, or if a wan young woman has to choose between the Dogman and a vampire. The legend of the Dogman was first documented by radioman and word guy Steve Cook.

Benzie Dogman sighted in Benzonia, Michigan

The movie poster to the right is from the Lost Plumber at Deviantart, as his idea how an eventual Dogman poster might look.

And here is the Dogman song, to the tune of "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon or (sort of) "All Summer Long" by Kid Rock.

"I saw a dogman clutching today's mail in his hand
Walking through the streets of Benzonia in the sleet
He was looking for a place called Roadhouse Mexican Grill
Going to get himself a big bowl of taco meat.

(It was summer-time in northern Michigan...)
 
Ahooo, dogman of Benzie..... Ahoooo.....
Ahooo, dogman of Benzie..... Ahoooo.....
 
He's the hairy-handed man, prowling round Lake Ann
Lately he's been seen far south as Joyfield.

If you see him, run away!
He'll tear your spleen out, Jay!
I'd like to meet his tax man.
Ahooo, dogman of Benzie..... Ahoooo.....
Ahooo, dogman of Benzie..... Ahoooo.....

Well, I saw Steve Cook walking by the bay
Rappin' the dogman of Benzie
I saw Frank Holes Jr. walking by the bay
Writing the dogman of Benzie
I saw a dogman drinking a soda at the L.A. Cafe
His hair was perfect...."

There are no Amazon links for this, nor is there a mention 

of an independent bookstore.  

But here is a link to the web site 

of Dogman author Frank Holes Jr.

Are there any werewolf, weredog, dogman, mandog, or pigman sightings anywhere around where you live, dear readers?
