[Dogtopus Illustration based on seafarer legend.]
We've all heard the legend of the seafarer Davey Jones, and the term "Davey Jones' locker" has permeated western culture, but few know of Davey Jones' Cocker Spaniel, "Rusty."
Rusty was a true and loyal companion, who followed his master everywhere...including death and legend. His spirit fusing with that of a demon Octopus, Davey Jones' Cocker Spaniel howls with a gurgling, otherworldly echo that portends his master's arrival. Pirates and honest merchants know the howl means certain doom, and often try superstitiously to "pay off" Davey Jones' Cocker Spaniel with dry biscuits and other food scraps thrown overboard on moonless nights.

Good job bringing this to my attention. There really is no end to their evile is there.
Oh, this is hilarious! At first I said poor dog when I saw the drawing, but then you won me over with the legend. What a creative mind you have!! : )
We have to stay vigilant, Cal :)
