This Hoax! Hoax! Hoax!: The Fowey Skull - Bodmin Beast or Piltdown Puss? leads to a dead page with some adverts on. Needs sorting? User:Totnesmartin at work, 29-3-07 (about tea-time)
In the Autumn of 1964 I saw what I believe to be the 'Surry Puma' Driving from Reading to Farnborough at about 2.00 AM on the A327 between Aborfield and Eversley I was 'flashed' by an oncoming motorist about 1 mile before the R. Blackwater crossing at Eversley.Moments later my headlights illuminated (reflecting eyes first) a large tawney animal with short ears and a lopeing gait moving quite fast in the Arborfield direction. I noted later in the month newspaper reports of raided dustbins and sightings at Wellington College Crowthorne. The 'puma' ingnored my car staring stright ahead, I estimate the hight at the shoulder to be about 3.5-4ft.Coincidentally 2 friends of mine had sighted a similar animal a few weeks earlier in the woods, then Army training grounds near Hawley in Hants ,i.e in a direct line for where I saw it on the A327.There had been plenty of reports at that time and they contacted the police, they described the bouncy lopeing stride of the animal and the tawney colour.There was a search but nothing seen.From were I saw the animal it would have been about 5 miles from Wellington College across field or along a lane skirting Finchampstead.At the time and subsiquently I felt deep sorrow for the plight of this poor large dog, which I can only assume had ben abandoned on the rough heathland and army traing grounds in the area by it's owners. The animal I saw was a large tawney boxer ≠86.27.130.242 (talk) 10:09, 17 March 2008 (UTC)dog,gaunt with hunger, or possibly a mastiff or even a great dane.The tragedy is the poor beast having become in part ferile was showing itself to humanity at certain times in hope of being given food and care.
