The Sailor’s Dog
Hounds and Hauntings

by Gerina Dunwich

The spirit of a black Labrador retriever is said to haunt the South Bay Mariner’s Cemetery in Port Milford, Ontario (Canada). According to local legend, the dog was the faithful companion of a sailor who died an accidental death aboard a schooner moored at Port Milford. The dog, which never abandoned its master’s grave, pined away and now haunts the cemetery. Still mourning for its long-departed master, the ghostly Labrador can sometimes be heard howling in the dark of the night.
