Share this story with a friend or family on St. Patrick’s Day or any other day of the year! It was inspired by a rare breed of dog called the Glen of Imaal Terrier from Ireland. Some people say these dogs used to help people roast food over a fire! Food was put on a stick, called a spit. The spit was attached to a wheel. As the dogs ran inside the wheel, the spit turned and the food cooked evenly. Yum!
