Episode 440 - On the Hound

Investigating the breed of the Hound of the Baskervilles

“What, in heaven’s name, was it?” [HOUN]

One of the most famous Sherlock Holmes stories, The Hound of the Baskervilles, tells a terrifying story of a dog that most certainly did something in the night-time.

But what do we know about the actual canine? In a Morley-Montgomery Award-winning article in 1975, Michael L. Burton dispels myths and narrows down the likely breed. It's just a Trifle.
