  1. Midway between the Shragh New School and the entrance gate to the house of John F. Studdert there is a little gullet where a little white dog appears now and then. He was often seen by the old people of Shragh. It was always a local saying that he guarded a treasure. When he barked the noise he made was like jingling coins. He usually appears in November.
