The bush dog (Speothos venaticus) is a rare canid found in Central and South America. In this study, we report three new records of bush dog from southwestern Goiás, central Brazil. We record two roadkill incidents (2019 and 2024) and a direct observation in 2024, where two individuals were seen heading towards a forest fragment. The records occurred in fragmented landscapes, primarily consisting of forests and savannas, highlighting the species' habitat preference. However, habitat fragmentation and isolation in the region increase vulnerability during dispersal, leading to higher risks of roadkill incidents.
