SPOILER WARNING! BIG TIME SPOILER WARNING!
 
I'M GIVING AWAY THE END OF THE BOOK!
 
But doesn't Bigfoot totally set up Doc with the dope in the trunk at the end -- set him up for either serious jail time or else getting killed by the Golden Fang?
 
Or do you think that Big Foot realized the clever manuvering that Doc would pull off?
 
Or I did totally read it wrong (or recall it incorrectly--I've "lent" to the book to a friend and haven't made it out to buy another copy yet)? 
 
I guess that I thought the same as everyone else here seems to think, until I decided that everything "nice" that Bigfoot did for Doc was just an attempt to get Doc to something that Bigfoot needed him to do.
 
Maybe there's enough ambiguity surrounding Bigfoot's motives that we can read into there whatever we want.
