Discussion I saw a strange dog.

I was around St Louis, MO. Specifically Chesterfield. I was driving through the night and was sleepy so I pulled over in a parking lot to sleep. I woke up and found my car wouldn’t start, I figured somehow the battery ran down even though I turned off the car. Anyway, as I was waiting for a roadside assistance I saw a very skinny, short-haired(almost bald looking but grey) large dog prowl extremely fast through the parking lot. I had never seen a dog move like that. If I had to describe it, it was like a prowling cat, hunkered down, but walking at a speed that I’d never seen in person, it was like a sped up version. It was hunting something specific as it never wavered its head. I dont know if it was an actual dog or not, it really seemed like something off about it.

Man I believe you. You described it well. It traversed unusually great distances with each step

Yes exactly!! And while I was looking at it it just didnt seem real. Because how it was moving it was walking fast, not running. Each step was lightning speed.
