I live in the eastern part of Victoria in Australia, where Beechworth, Albury and bright is. I remember being in the car driving home In the woods. I was looking out of the window and saw a shadowy dog-creature in the tree line. It was a pine plantation if I recall correctly, and I thought it was a wild dog. I told my parents, and they said it was very unlikely, due to how we were not in the king valley, which had a tendency for wild dogs it would have been the hight of a German Shepard, and it's fur seemed chestnut brown. It was staring at me, and seemed like it was panting. it stood there until we drove out of sight. we had been by a creek having a picnic and I had heard a few distant barks, though I thought it was just someone with their dog(S). I saw it not long after we heard our creek
Any idea on what it might have been?
