A woman's fear of dogs meets a husband's determination to dismiss it. Bringing a dog into the home makes that conflict harder to contain. This is a domestic suspense story about fear and control, rather than a comforting tale of a missing pet.
CBS Radio Mystery Theater brought hosted mystery drama to 1970s radio, with Himan Brown producing an anthology that moves between crime, the supernatural and psychological suspense.
