Could a dog have unearthed the mythical creature Bigfoot in Oregon?

A video purporting to show the elusive Sasquatch has caused quite a stir online, after it was shared by the Bigfoot Encounters YouTube channel.

According to the description alongside the clip, a man strapped a GoPro camera to his pet pooch and filmed the sighting in some woods in 2015.

The clip reemerged this week after being posted by Viral Nova, with many theorists coming forward with their opinions.

It stands up on two legs like a human but also appears to be hairy and ape-like.

However many have called to question the authenticity, mostly due to the dog's reaction, or lack thereof.
