Little Dog Turpie

My wife showed this to me, not long after we met. It’s one of the ways I knew she was the girl for me. An authentically gruesome spin on the old folk tale of The Hobyahs, here’s the tale of Little Dog Turpie.

An update, many years later – The Hobyahs is now a tale I tell n my storytelling work. It’s a cracker.

    My grandmother told me this story when I was little. Scared the heck out of me.
