  2. A Strange Animal

    Share Share Post
    At the cross of Doon, Co. Limerick, around Michael Carew's corner a black dog appears. This dog is of a jet black colour with eyes of fire. The dog appears to be the biggest and strongest ever seen in the locality. He never barks nor howls, yet he is not friendly. He was never seen to run or trot, but walks like a horse carrying his head and tail erect. He generally shows his prowess on a dark night between midnight and three o'clock. Some relate that this is a local deceased person in the form of a dog doing penance for sin.
