The Androscoggin Creature was a dog that was found dead in Turner, Maine in Androscoggin County, Maine in August 2006. Its canine nature was initially unclear. Lewiston Sun Journal reporter Mark LaFlamme described it on August 16, 2006 in an article titled “Mysterious Beast” and made a connection from the unidentified animal to local lore: "[the animal] may be the mystery creature that has roamed the area for years, mauling dogs and frightening residents. Or it could be a dog that has been running wild in the woods".[citation needed] Genetic testing determined the creature to be a dog.[1]
