Many years ago, the eminent Professor Digby Trench of Bog Studies at Ogbridge, discovered parchments containing the venerable tail wagging lore of ‘Woof Woofa Woof Woof Woof’, written in the ancient Ogham alphabet.

The parchments reveal that traditionally, the leader of the tribe howls down important ‘tails’ through the ages. His Ogginess, the Oggiest, Doggiest, Og Bog Dog of Og Bog – Dog Bog Dog for short- inherits the responsibility of teaching the young Sprogs.

It also says that tales should be passed on from dog to dog from now until the end of time. That is why when you take a dog for a walk and you meet other dogs they start all that bottom sniffing, tail wagging and running round in circles. What the dogs are really doing is telling each other tales. Humans forget that as a dog year is 7 times shorter than a human year what takes half an hour for us to tell - will take a dog less than 5 minutes.

Ogham is an alphabet of 25 letters easily carved on wood or stones. It can also be written by way of claw marks dipped in peaty water, which stains the parchment as ink would. The letters are linked to a number of sacred trees. When Leonardi di Houndi arrived in Og Bog he taught the dogs to write in Ogham. From then on the tribe has always had a scribe who is the preserver of the ‘Woof Woofa Woof Woof’. Through translating the secret parchments we have unearthed the history of The Og Bog Dogs and many stories which have gone untold to humans.

We are not sure where the Og Bog Dogs came from but we know for sure that it was somewhere boggy! In County Kilkenny in Ireland there are standing stones which have examples of Ogham writing, and examples are also preserved in The Royal Irish Academy in Dublin .
