Originally aired on November 14, 1977, Lost Dog was episode #735 of the CBS Radio Mystery Theater — a golden age of audio storytelling that thrilled millions across America.
This episode blends elements of the supernatural with a psychological thriller. On the surface? A missing pet. But underneath? A chilling story of regret, guilt… and something that refuses to stay buried.
Meet Paul, a man recovering from a deep personal tragedy. One day, he hears a dog barking… but he doesn’t own a dog. The sound follows him — in his apartment, on the street, even in his dreams.
Then, a mysterious girl appears — claiming she lost her dog, and she's sure Paul has it. But here’s the twist: no one else sees the girl. And no one else hears the barking.
As the story unfolds, Paul is forced to confront a dark secret from his past involving a child… and a decision he can’t take back.
Lost Dog explores guilt, grief, and the human mind’s attempt to cope with loss. Like many episodes of CBS Mystery Theater, it uses subtle sound design and narration to create an atmosphere of dread.
This isn’t just about a haunting — it’s about accountability. The dog is the manifestation of unresolved trauma, echoing through Paul’s life.
