  • I live in Glrentrool about 3 1/2 miles from the Buchan house where this film was shot. Many of the old residents knew of this 'occurence' and worse still believed it, many still do. Now for the science. Domesticated dogs are descended from the grey wolf and are placed in the genus Canis which is itself placed in the family Canidae. The red fox is in the genus Vulpes which is also in the much larger family Canidae. However this is where science debunks urban myth and stupid country folk's superstitions and beliefs.

The dogs in the film are a mixed bunch with obvious Retriever, Border collie and possibly Spaniel blood in them. There is not even an ounce of Fox to be seen in looks, colour or behaviour.
