Dog Vampire Dogs in Texas

Hound Dracula is 'Vampire Dog'

Quote:
A HORRIFYING breed of VAMPIRE dog that sucks blood from farm animals was on the rampage last night.

Just saw this in The Sun this morning (It's like junk food for the brain!), I did a search and couldn't see anything but I could be wrong. Have any Texan Snopesters heard about this?

I did see something on Fox news about that. The first thing I though was "I bet I see this on Snopes tomorrow"

I don't think Cuero is anywhere near us, though.

All t'gether, now. Y'all knows the tune:


There are vampire dogs in Texas,
At night they're plain to see!
They wear these little black cloaks
And fly in the air to pee,
You don't need a pooper scooper
To walk these thirsty pups,
But a wood stake would be super
If you need to string 'em up.

Oh, the vampire dogs of Texas,
They'll drink yore sheep plumb dry!
They're hemogobin gobblin',
It's there on Fox, no lie.

Thanks. Shouldn't try to spell "hemoglobin" when I've not had any coffee, though.

The Hemoglobin Gobblin' Goblins has a nice ring to it, perhaps for the next band you form?

I thought for a minute that it was this.

And Brad, that was hilarious. Although I'll have an earworm all day now...

We really do! But I think vampiric dogs might be the least of them.

Well, there's the story of the vampire bunny- Bunnicula-

Why not a vampire dog? Sounds plausible to me-

NOT!!!!!
