    The Caldra Dog
    Told by Mr Tomas Comaskey age 56
    Dungimmon, Mount Nugent, County Cavan,
    In the old times it was said that there was a bush at the end of Robert Lords garden where a dog called the Caldra he used to walk along the road with the people who passed that way at a late hour at night.
    He used to walk from the end of Robert Lords garden along the road to Dungimmon crossroads and it was said that Oliver Plunkett shot him with a sixpence and he was never seen any more.
