Superstitions About Dogs

spooky dog
We've all heard that a black cat crossing your path brings bad luck, but have you ever heard the following?
  • A dog eating grass means rain is coming.
  • Meeting a dog is good luck (especially if it's a Dalmatian).
  • A greyhound with a white spot on its forehead brngs good fortune.
  • Being followed by a strange dog is bad luck (especially if the dog is black).
  • The spectral black dog (barguest) is a harbinger of death.
  • A dog howling for no reason means unseen spirits are lurking about.
  • A dog howling three times? A death has occurred.
  • At one time a dog that had bitten someone was immediately destroyed to protect the person from rabies (even if the dog was healthy).
