    live in it.
    After a few years two men went out with guns late at night. They happened to pass down the road where the dog was known to be. Just as they were passing by the house out jumped the dog across the road.
    The man got up the gun and fired at the dog and killed it. He shot him in the head and found out that it was some men behind the stile and that they let out the dog.
    Ever since that nobody is afraid to pass that way no matter how late it is.
