With out being there I can't say for certain what they are they could be dogs. I do know facts and the fact is there was an exotic animal dealer in Arkansas in the early 70's that's a fact. We lived about 10 miles away. Law enforcement was called out because he either turned some Big cats loose or they escaped those are facts. What happen after that to the cats it was never said. Not long after that sittin on a deer stand one evening just about dark I had a black panther walk by at about 10 yrds That's a fact. How it got there I don't know, where it went I don't know.
Live it up! Doug
