"They look something like a large pit bull," Stewart told the San Francisco Chronicle. "They're very tough customers."

Nah. More a giant badger. If you look at living badgers, they're ornery critters. You don't want to cross paths with one. I wouldn't think about crossing a path with this pre-historic beast and don't ever have to.

Sounds like they found the ancestors of my two dogs. If you saw them, you'd get the joke - one I call 'Weasel' and 'Short Leggs' and the other I call 'Pigg' and 'Pooh Bear'. And they're both from the same litter! LOL :-)

They found this near Berkley? Maybe it's a prototypical MoonBat!

I wouldn't normally ping doggie ping people to what will likely just become an incomprehensible crevo debate, but I think it's interesting!

How can they have a story like this without pictures?

If those horses keep getting bigger, they will one day be hippos.

If this dog encountered something like a 200 lbs badger/pit bull, I'd be gone one way or another.
