The Axehandle Hound (sometimes spelled as axhandle hound, ax-handle hound, or similar), is an American fearsome critter of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Overall, it resembles a dog with a roughly axe-like shape. It has a head shaped like an axe blade hence the name, complemented by a handle-shaped body atop short stubby legs. It subsists on a diet consisting entirely on the handles of axes which have been left unattended. A nocturnal〔Tryon, Henry Harrington. ''Fearsome Critters.'' (Cornwall, NY: Idlewild Press, 1939)〕 creature, the axehandle hound travels from camp to camp searching for its next meal.〔(Brown, C.E. ''Paul Bunyan Natural History.'' (Madison: self-published, 1935.) )〕 In Minnesota, there is a canoe-access campground named Ax-Handle Hound after the folklore creature. It can be found on the Little Fork River near Voyageurs National Park and very near the town of Linden Grove. ==See also==
