Extreme K9s 101!


Today's Extreme K9 lives within Leeds Castle in Kent, England, but isn't the kind of pooch you would expect...

"Leeds Castle in Kent, England, in the United Kingdom, is known as the Ladies' Castle because so many queens lived there. But anyone who lived there would not want to spot one of the castle's ghosts: a phantom black dog. Legend has it that seeing this canine ghost is an omen of disaster. One woman claimed she saw the dog padding through a solid stone wall. As she rose from a window seat to investigate, the seat and nearby wall crashed into the moat below. The ghost dog is said to have brought bad luck to the castle, but good luck to this particular lady."
