Abstract:

Plagued by a creature killing and draining dogs of their blood, a small town attracted hundreds of hunters and spectators for several days in 1954. A massive hunt proceeded to kill the animal, but after several more dog deaths and no sign of the animal, the hunt was given up, and the creature never found.
