OK, now I'm really scared. I love mysterious stories and legends, but this one is not only mysterious, it is very sad too. The legend might be true about a monster lurking at the bottom of Lake Somerset (Pa.) Michael Carley and Roslyn Willkow were playing with their 66-pound English Staffordshire bull terrier named King. Michael was throwing a stick into the water and King would swim out and fetch it. Right before their eyes in only waist deep water, King was pulled under the water and totally disappeared without a struggle. They swam out after the dog and dove down searching down into the lake bottom and all around the area he disappeared. As you can tell by the photo, King is a young 3 year old who is very strong and physical. They still can't imagine what could have happened to him. Local fisherman and townspeople say there are big pike and muskie swimming in the 260 plus acre lake, but none that could pull a dog that size down. I'm never swimming in the streams by our house. I'm so little a tad pole could pull me under!

Could it be the OgoPogo?
