Dog’s Magic Powers Exposed as Hoax

Dog’s Magic Powers Exposed as Hoax

A German Shepherd named Ty has been drawing crowds to the lakeside town of Dell, IL for years.

“He can walk on water. I’ve seen it,” says Casey Lannigan, a local resident, who witnessed Ty’s feats of magic with her family numerous times.

But a scathing indictment in the town’s local paper has brought Ty’s “powers” into question.

“It seems Ty’s water walking abilities are most evident in the winter,” writes Dell Daily Herald columnist Hank Otis in the latest edition. “And when pressed to walk on the lake in warmer months, the dog simply shrugs and curls up for a nap. It’s time to admit that walking on a frozen lake isn’t supernatural. It’s just fun.”
