S2 Ep41: The Dog Saw it First
Astonishing LegendsNov 6, 2026
A listener named Patrick writes in from Northcote, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia, about a strange predawn encounter his thirteen-year-old son James had in autumn 2024. While walking through a reserve that was once part of a golf course, the family's Boston terrier Cookie, a dog that never barks at anyone, stopped beside a stand of gum trees and growled at something James could not see. With host Forrest away, Mothman Prophecies screenwriter Richard Hatem sits in to read the letter and explore what the dog may have sensed.
