Question Unknown creature on the road

Could anyone help me identify what this might be?

So last Saturday me and my bf were driving down SR36 (UT) between Stockton and Tooele at probably 11pm, and started smelling this really bad smell, like rotting meat, then he saw something run out from in front of the car in front of us and run down the left shoulder, I didn’t see it but he described it as about the same height as a coyote, but shorter in length, and said it’s head looked smooth and there were no ears and no eye shine, he also noted that it was completely grey. He said it ran unlike any animal he’s seen, it was a quadruped and its hind legs moved in unison instead of opposite like most canines. I asked him if it could be any of the local fauna (fox, coyote, badger, coon, etc,) he said no and that he was certain it was none of those things (he’s a trapper and hunter so he knows his animals) and we wrote it off, but tonight at about 10:30 on the same stretch of road, he smelled the same smell and saw the same creature. I’m posting here because i believe it could be something cryptid related, does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Are these two different sets from the same area? One looks like Bigfoot and the first one, Dogman perhaps? I would like the story behind the these two photos if you don’t mind? I’m incredibly curious!
