Yes, it’s true, there really was a big black dog. Named ‘Shuck’ after the legend of the Black Shuck our huge beast didn’t roam the leafy Suffolk countryside at night looking for victims. He, in fact, spent vast amounts of his life sleeping on the sofa at our home, not far from our workplace near Woodbridge. Sadly no longer with us, his memory lives on in the ‘Black Dog Chili Company’.
