** Every one of those dogmen has been either cajoled, bribed, or commanded by his own particular Circe to take the dear household pet out for an airing. — (O. Henry, Sixes and Sevens, chapitre VI (« Ulysses and the Dogman »), Doubleday, Page & Company, Garden City, New York, 1899–1910 (1re édition 1911) (OCLC 7113119), page 64)
** A dogman, he [John Moore] said, likes having tails wagged at him, wants to be looked up to, and tends for that reason to be quite a good leader. A catman, on the other hand, is made slightly uncomfortable by spaniel eyes and devoted tail thumpings. Dogmen seem to prefer the outdoors, adventure, jungles, deserts, and are attracted by the army. Little is heard of cats in army officers' messes or barracks. — (John Montgomery, The Wolrd of Cats, « Are You a Catman? », Hamlyn Publishing Group$^{(en)}$, New York, New York, 1968, ISBN 978-0-600-00635-0, page 11)
** Dogfights are most commonly staged in secluded rural areas such as barns or fields. […] When a contract is drawn up for a fight, the participants decide on a central location. They then contact a dogman in that area to make arrangements to have the fight at a location that he provides. […] On the day of the fight the participants and the spectators, usually members of the fraternity, which tends to be almost exclusively male, meet at a dogman’s house near the location where the fight will take place. […] This gathering of the fraternity before the event is a very important element of the dogmen subculture. — (Rhonda D. Evans, Craig J. Forsyth, Readings in Deviant Behavior, « The World of Dogfighting », Allyn & Bacon, Needham Heights, 2011, page 333)

** [T]his tradition certainly influenced that of Dog-Men (cynanthropy) and of dog-headed men (cynocephaly), […] Dog-Men, however, have historically enjoyed a much richer and more varied mythology than their lycanthropic cousins, no doubt as a result of the ambiguity of the dog itself as much as of cultural or historical trends. — (David Gordon White$^{(en)}$, Myths of the Dog-man, « Hell is Other People », University of Chicago Press, Chicago, Illinois, 1991, page 15)
** A dogman’s legs are back bent, crooked as a dog’s. Its body is covered in fine fur, and its face has a dog-like snout and ear. A dogman’s arms and torso are completely humanoid, save for the its strange paws, that are vaguely human-like, but with thick dark claws. — (Sovereign Stone: Bestiary of Loerem$^{(en)}$, Sovereign Press$^{(en)}$, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, 2002, ISBN 978-1-931567-05-3, page 56)

** Sightings of mysterious creatures that appear to be part human and part wolf are reported in modern times all over the world.

In some cases, they were thought to be a type of debased human. — (Rosemary Ellen Guiley$^{(en)}$, Fate Presents Werewolves and Dogmen, « Introduction: An Overview of Werewolves and Their Kin », Visionary Living, 2018, ISBN 978-1-942157-17-5)
