OMEN

WHEN A DOG HOWLS AT NIGHT, IT MEANS DEATH IS NEAR. IT HAPPENED TO ME
ONCE WHEN OUR DOG, SNOOPY BOY, HOWLED ONE NIGHT AND HE NEVER REALLY
HOWLED BEFORE. THE NEXT MORNING WE FOUND OUT A RELATIVE HAD DIED.
THEN, ONE NIGHT RECENTLY, OUR DOG PRINCESS HOWLED, AND THE NEXT
MORNING WE FOUND OUT OUR GRANDFATHER HAD DIED THE NIGHT BEFORE. BOTH
STORIES ARE TRUE, THOUGH MANY DO NOT BELIEVE IT.
