- There was a man by the name of Whitney from near Taghmon and he was going out wan morning to see his cattle out on the land. His son was with him at the time. As they were going along Whitney saw this greyhound. "Begob" says he "that's the nicest greyhound I've ever seen". He had a hound with him himself and he set him after him. He only went about twenty yards after him when the strange dog turned round and his eyes were the very same as two big fires. His own dog came back damn quick and he roaring.
