The Man Who Pretended to Be a Dog

Inspector Story

About this episode

In 1902 Alabama, a man adopted a bizarre dog named Mr. Tuna. The town whispered it was something else. In 1914, after the owner's mysterious death, the dog was arrested — and exposed as a man in disguise. This is the strange, possibly true story behind one of America's earliest cryptid impersonators.
