About “The Final Case,” Doctor Scofield, Captain Underhill’s personal physician, comments, “A most interesting case study. It is both sad and ironic that the mental affliction Captain Underhill used to pretend to suffer from: that of being senile, was ultimately the very thing that laid him low. And yet, in the annals of crime solving, if this final case does nothing else, it proves the kind of natural-born sleuth my good friend, Waverly, was.”

This is a quick-to-read, small book of reports gathered by my late father. He had originally started as an amateur Bigfoot researcher but became increasingly interested in the mystery of the Dogman phenomenon and began looking into both when he could. This book was made from a few reports and some commentary and analysis of what was reported. The reports are what people said they saw. In this book, the reports are relayed as they were reported and accompanied by the comments and notes my father wrote down pertaining to each report he was given. Was it a Bigfoot? Was it a Dogman? Was it ...
