Story
“One night there was a man and his dog going home from cuaird.”
One night there was a man and his dog going home from cuaird. The dog used turn back barking and make for something but the man could see nothing. He kept on barking until he reached his home.
He opened the door and the dog ran in around the house fighting with something. The man made up in the room and jumped in to bed with his shoes and clothes on him and would not put out the dog so his brother got up and put them out and locked the door and when the got up next morning the found the dog dead out side the door.
