The Dobharchu

Nobody wants to meet a Puca. More often than not this animal spirit is malevolent and is to be avoided. The Puca usually appears as a horse, though it can take the form of almost any animal. Several of my friends who are not well versed in Irish ways have named pets “Pooka,” and frankly I am cautious around them.

Guilty! Everyone should be cautious around all large dogs that they don't know and even the ones you think you know. Although, pretty much unless you are a raccoon or some other uninvited guest sneaking into the yard, you don't have much to fear from my Pooka.
