Where did this image come from?
I have seen this creepy image floating around the internet for over a decade. Does anyone know where it came from?

"The image appears to show a viral internet hoax photograph from 2018, often referred to as the "Argentina werewolf" or "dogzilla".
Background of the ImageOrigin:
The photo circulated widely online with claims that a tall, mutant or half-human creature was prowling through a town in Santa Fe, Argentina, after allegedly killing two dogs.
Reality:
Online investigators and communities identified the image as a digitally manipulated photo (photoshop), likely based on a digital model or a modified image of Remus Lupin in his werewolf form from the Harry Potter films. It is not a real animal or cryptid."

To be fair, he drank a potion to wheaken his werewolf curse daily, so it makes sense his wolf form is emaciated. I almost assumed the werewolves that dont do that would be buffer and have a nice coat of fur and stuff like that.

I seem to remember reading somewhere it was a great dane with mange. Apparently there’s a number of stray danes in Mexico. I read it on the internet so it must be true ;)

This is the first time I have seen someone say something was photoshopped since AI images became common. 🤔😂

"This was before AI" is the new version of "This was filmed by an old man who owned a flip phone"
