Does anyone remember the huge dog that lived there back in the early 90's that would sneak out between the two farm buildings on the right hand side, lunging at your throat until the chain snapped him back? I have seen some big dogs in my life, but this thing was the hugest, most evil-looking creature I have ever seen. Dogs usually love me, but I doubt this thing was capable of anything other than hatred.

I took my kids up there last summer, and told them all about this mythical half-bear/half-dog/half-walrus creature, and as we passed by, I was disappointed to not be attacked by his descendant...I noticed some marks on the brickwork, and then spoke to the farmer's wife, and she confirmed the grooves cut 6" into the bricks were caused by the chain being yanked against them by this beast of an animal, and stopped my kids from thinking I was yanking their chains too ;)
