Nine dogs a-hanging

I'm asked why I'm too squeamish to run this horrific tale of the hanging of 9 dogs on Kos. Alive, it seems.

I just found it too distressing but if that's what readers want, I'm here to serve.

It seems that locals know the culprit. If Kos was nearer to Kerkyra, I'd probably rustle up a posse of Albanian hard men with long guns and settle thrice three scores.

Long hemp might be more fitting.
