When a picture emerged of a hulking beast stalking the moors, one woman wasn't chilled by rumours of its gaping jaws, glowing eyes and blood-curdling howls. That's because Lucinda Reid recognised the "Demon of Dartmoor" as ... her pet dog.The two-year-old Newfoundland - called Troy - weighs in at a whopping 12 stones. But, far from being ferocious, he's as gentle as a lamb. Miss Reid lives close to the spot where the photo was taken and often takes Troy for a walk there."I was in stitches when I read that someone thought Troy was the beast of Dartmoor," she said yesterday. "I spotted that it was him right away - you can tell by the shape and the way he is walking. "We go up to that spot on Dartmoor all the time. It is only ten minutes away from our home and Troy loves to run about there." (Daily Mail)
