What are dogmans origins?

Sifting the evidence of what we have, where do you think dogman came from?

Are they indigenous beings, the same things from the werewolf and Loup garou folklores of Europe?

I keep hearing they are a government experiment gone awry. It makes no sense the govenemtn would have that level of tech and doesn’t use it more.

Why would they be content to have them roaming the woods? What purpose do they have in hiding them?

The reason I disbelieve dogman is because it makes no sense. All the places they appear have an abundant black bear and coyote population. At least the idea of Bigfoot isn’t absurd, a lost species of primate.

If you believe in DM why?
