i have heard stories round victoria way about 'little people' but not in the top end.

but i have heard stories from their media and..... well, you gotta sell papers if you sell papers.

The footprint is fake.

It is too thin and too long.

As far as the dog is concerned, anything could have killed it.

Yowies can be violent, but not every strange animal death should be automatically labeled as their doing.

As far as I know there isn't any evidence that Yowies have much of a presence in NT. They prefer dense bushland. I guess it is possible some remain the Kimberly region, but that would be about it.

I don't suppose anyone had the presence of mind to collect the body of the dog and have it tested for say dna, bite marks. handprints, sttretch and ligature marks on the muscles, etc.?

It's the nature of the Northern Territory. A story like this is worth more in tourist (terrorist) dollars than a proper investigation.

My experience of the NT News was that the front page was either a new pub opens, a crocodile attack or a subtle racist story about an indigenous person.

My experience only, no facts involved.

Sounds most likely to have been something else.
I actually don't know much about Yowies, but I know Foofstar does, so I thought I 'd post for those who are in the know to look at I'm going to read Foofs thread now, to get more insight into Yowies seeings it's one of my naitonal legends
