Not canine . He was making a face of total fear . Try leaning your head back , opening your eyes wide open and looking down while showing your teeth . I guess it ' s one of Sasquatch ' s lesser known attributes , but yeah they run silent . They can run through briars , leaves , anything . Doesn ' t make a sound . Have watched them do it . No explanation . He never made a sound , but his troupe sure did when i started taking down all the stick structures on the mountain . I could hear them . Heard a distinct AW behind me when I destroyed an X . One followed me all the way back to Nimblewill Gap and broke a large tree branch as I left . The more I get to know Sasquatch , the less I like them and have to worry about them all the time when I go into the mountains . You would not notice they are there unless you know what to look for . I know that sounds like a generalization but it ' s true . On a recent hiking trip , I heard that muffled talking and felt something throwing things at my sleeping bag . Next morning , all the firewood had been moved to form a line by the treeline . Guy I was with didn ' t notice .
