Welcome to Cryptic Soup, your after-dark podcast. Crimes, cryptids, cons, and beyond. There is always something new to dive into.

In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee to talk about a little more of a furry case. We are going to meet Casper, the crime fighting dog. Sounds fun right? Casper is a Great Pyrenees from Georgia who found and killed numerous coyotes that were trying to attack his livestock. Talk about a ruff day on the job. Did you know that dogs play an important role in the true crime community, between cadaver dogs, assisting in crime searches, K-9 units, and more. We give credit to some other really cool dogs that have helped with cases over time!
