Montauk residents proud of their 'monster'

Enough already with this story

A fitting end to the thing as it was obviously on the beach unleashed; maybe the rest of the monster owners can learn from this and keep their beasts under proper restraint. Also- seems curious that this thing appears so close in time to the recent Billy Joel concerts ... just saying.

You east end people really need to get a life.

Hopefully they will some DNA on it and find out what it is until then stop calling it a monster.

Someone should do a story about the Montauk Monster Toast available on eBay. Its sick!!

It's a dead dog that is bloated from the water. Let's bury it and stop looking at pics of dead animals.

The monster is a manmade prop for a future movie.

The Montauk Monster would have lived longer but he was TAXED to death !

It's the journalists at Newsday who need lives!

- Bloomberg's snack foods
- Listing what is on TCM as if it were news (Cablevision now owns Newsday).
- Linsay getting naked

A dead and decomposed pit bull washes up on shore and it's been a 3 day event?!

Can we please have some news, Newsday???

I live in Ditch Plains but did not see the "thing" there. However the other night - actually early morning- I was coming out of the Dock Bar after having a few pints of Guinness with George Watson and sure as the sun rises, there running toward the fishing boats by the docks, was another of these beastly critters.

i don't even live in Montalk. I live in River Head but now I am afraid to go swimming. i'm scared of monsters.:(

and nobody knows what that thing is.:(

looks like my mother in law

I encountered this beast and used my kung fu to subdue it. Ahaaa!

So do you feel sad that Louie Armstrong beat you to be the first man on the moon..

Either it's a photoshopped creation (the shadows on the head and body are different) or it's some Plum Island experiment!

I might be alittle late in the story but were the police called to remove the animal since I am sure that nobody would touch anything in that condition. Also with all the medical advanced scientists would be able to determine what it is by DNA. If the person who found this played a hoax how stupid do they think people are if it is so easy to tell medically if this is real. In the article it says that it is the size of a cat but the picture makes it look huge. As for people saying they are not swimming anymore give me a break do you know how many other decaying things are in the water? The only other article on this story should have been when scientists properly identified the animal but who knows if that will ever happen.

I agree with you

This is a very sad story. Apparently someone tied the front paws together of this dog. So evident in some of the photographs. This poor animal is a dog, a pug, bulldog, or boxer. Notice the knarled ears, similar to the type of dogs mentioned here. Its fleshy snout configuration is missing, only the catilage is seen in this photo, that gives it the nose cavity we see. I feel so sorry for this poor animal; to have met such a fate. And too displayed by Newsday for the idiots to gape at, and make such outrageous comments about it.
God help this poor soul.

omg...enough already...Ok we get it...the DOD is concocting aliens...enough already!!!!!!!!!!
