England is no stranger to supernatural happenings. Of all of the famous names and cases one could name off, England’s Black Dogs dig deep into the culture of the English people and to humanity as a whole. From every grave yard to every crossroad, black dogs prowl and guard every threshold of our lives. Stalking nearly every corner of the island, every small town seems to have a black hound all of their own. While they may vary in size and intentions, these prolific puppers spoke just as much to the ancient celtic traditions they may derive from as they do to us today. Thanks for joining us today on the STP where we’ll travel in the past and present. From legend to possible fact. From nefarious to downright cuddly...well, maybe not. But as we for sure chase our tails calling in some not so domesticated furry friends. And don't forget to stick around for our musicians spotlight, this week featuring Mold Golem. (Names)and this is part one of a two part series we’re calling “Reigning Cats and Dogs”. This is Episode 40: The Devil Dogs of England.
