In American tall tales, the axe-handle hound is said to be a fearsome critter of Minnesota and Wisconsin. It resembles a dog with an axe-like body, and only eats the handles of axes which have been left unattended. An axe-handle hound travels from camp to camp searching for its next meal, and strongly dislikes axe handles made from red oak.

Here's a couple more blurry photos. It was about the size of a loaf of banana bread, too big for a rat, nearly the size of a football. The blunt head and lack of a tail are pretty definitive. You can't see in the photos but its tiny eyes gave it an expression like I'd woken it up from a nap. #bigfoot #PNW #Washington #cryptid #WildLife #wildlifephotography
