Black Shuck

"Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of Black Shuck? Some people believe it's a big, black dog who wanders around England. You might think, 'Oh, what a cute dog!' But some people believe it's a scary creature that can give you bad luck or even hurt you.

People have been talking about Black Shuck for hundreds of years! Some people say they've seen him, but others say it's just a made-up story. Nobody knows for sure.

Some writers and artists have created pictures and stories about Black Shuck over the years. And he's been in movies, too! Some people think he's a legend, like a really scary bedtime story.

But no matter what you believe, it's always good to be careful around big dogs, especially if you don't know them. So if you ever see a big, black dog in England, just be safe and give him some space."
