In the Summer of 1977, Dog-Boy Was Wapatusset’s Own Horse-Boy

As ‘Horse-Boy Fever’ is the talk of cyberspace, local residents can remember back to the mid-70s when the village was abuzz with ‘Dog-Boy Mania’. For a period of nearly 6 months images of Dog-Boy would intermittently flash on the TV screen – immediately following the national anthem and just prior to the test pattern screen.

Despite an intervention from a troupe of scientists from nearby MIT, the mystery of Dog-Boy was never solved. Perhaps ‘Dog-Boy’ and Horse-Boy’ will someday meet.



Until then, this is TV Talk signing-off!
