There is [or was] a thing about sacrificing dogs who have “eyebrows” and all her dogs were Shepherd mixes with “eyebrows”.
When she saw my dogs with their really obvious ‘eyebrows’, she was really nosy about the breed.
My dad kept our horses at her farm sometimes and I had to go there and collect one to ride but I never took the Dobes down there again.
The poor thing on the road was probably the worst thing I’ve ever seen.
I was around 14 or 15 and I screamed like a girl and cried for hours.
My dad went out to take it off the road and then tried to tell me it was a ‘skinned fox’.
My ass.
It was a medium dog.
I ~know~ what a dog looks like, even when it’s skinless.
I could literally sit down and make you an exact drawing of it, with its position on the road, how all the trees looked and everything.
It’s kind of burned into my brain.
Shoot, I would probably react now the way you did then.
I had a momentary curiosity to google occult practices/dogs with eyebrows, but I’m not going there.....I’ll regret it if I do.
