A Guyana man reported that his dog was killed by a “monster” during the evening of Saturday, June 3, 2023. The resident, Stephen Dunbar Amsterdam, said that the mysterious creature bit and ravaged his dog to death while he stood there helplessly.
The incident occurred in Guyana’s bordering area to Venezuela. The dog owner referred to the attack as a “bizarre” and “distressing experience”.
While speaking to local media, Amsterdam said he was walking his dog in the evening when a “big black monster” came towards to attack him. However, he was saved because his dog got in the way and sacrificed his life to save the owner.
He referred to the creature as “monster-like” and “diabolical.” He states that it strangled the dog’s neck, causing it to die after the savage attack. Following the heinous murder of the dog, Amsterdam said the creature fled from the location. “I am not sure if it was a black panther, Kanaima, or an evil spirit, but I am thankful to God and my dog for saving my life.” He added that the death of his dog had left a mark on his heart, as his beloved pet went everywhere with him.
After the news of the incident went viral on social media, many people shared the bizarre incidents that happened with them in the same locality in the past.
A social media named Gavin Liverpool said, ”Working at Makouria police outpost back in early 2000 while on duty, a jaguar, tiger-cat or something of that sort, attacked one of the dogs that would normally be around the outpost. Upon checking after hearing the tumbling in the dark, whatever it was, run away leaving the dog just like that until it eventually dies."
Some of the other residents have even suspected that the creature could be a “Werewolf” or an “Evil Spirit” that roams only at night. However, some people also lashed out at the dog owner for not being protective enough of the pet.
“I am terribly sorry for that dog. We have to be responsible too as humans in situations like this. That dog was not supposed to be upfront tackling ‘the black ordeal,” wrote a user named Sheikh Abrahim. Some residents said that if the creature were a Black Panther, it would have taken its meal into the night with them instead of just leaving it.

Guyanese folklore reflects a complex history and rich ethnic mosaic, drawing on African, Amerindian, East Indian, Dutch, and English mythologies. Many of the older population still hold a belief in them, particularly in Guyana, where long-held superstitions and modern-day conveniences like cell phones and the internet live side by side. Lon
