In the preview picture all I saw was the light and the dark road. Yet when I actually opened up the picture I saw the dog. It so cool that if you don't pay attention you can't see the beauty that is harnessed in the dog. It has an eerie feel to it but it is still calm like when you watch a deer in a forest. You don't want to move so you don't scare them away but you still want to get closer. Β

See this is the myth of the Black Dog:
Black Dogs are a whole class of monstrous, canine apparitions prevalent in European folklore, showing up frequently in English and Scottish lore. These mythical creatures are also often known as Hellhounds, and are described as being huge dogs, roughly the size of a calf; covered in thick, shaggy black hair and with glowing eyes.
These apparitions appear at places that serve as transition archetypes β places such as lonely county roads, ancient highways, bridges, crossroads, and shallowed entrances. Hellhounds are said to guard treasure or sacred places. More often than not, if you leave a Black Dog alone, it will not bother you but if you attempt to harm one, the consequences are dire. Black Dogs can inflict frightful wounds that may prove fatal. Indeed, in much folklore that describes these creatures, to see one isΒ a signΒ of death, though there have been reported instances of Black Dogs guiding lost travelers to safety.

Yes, he's supposed to be one (Black Shuck, Barghests, Black dogs, etc). Β I've read lots on the subject myself

I had a feeling he was! I started writing a story about a Black Dog once so I've done quite a bit of reading on the subject also. ^-^ But that is so cool that you and your family come from Scotland. You did a great job with the picture!! Definitely got your point across on what the picture was about! ^-^
