Axehandle Hound

The Axehandle Hound, also Axhandle Hound or Axe-Handle Hound, is a creature which appears in turn-of-the-century North American folklore.

Description
Having their origins in the lumberjack tradition of hazing recent immigrants, the Axehandle Hound is said to be a small, nocturnal canine which hails from Wisconsin and Minnesota. Resembling a sausage dog with a head reminiscent of an axe blade, the whole animal gives the impression of a walking woodcutters axe. Their diet consists solely of axe handles which have been left unattended by their owners, and are known to spend a large portion of their time travelling between logging camps in search of their next meal.
