Synopsis:
John Constantine begins investigating a case in which human remains have been found eaten. The investigation leads to the junkyard of Charlie Chlutterbuck. On the scene, he finds a primitive biography of former Inspector Drummond who is believed to have killed himself. However, the biography reveals details of an occult ritual which have transformed Drummond into a dog.

Drummond has been eating derelict men with the help of his dimwitted accomplice Dougie. The demon dog now has John trapped at the junkyard, surrounded by a pack of dogs. John is chased around the grounds. He eventually gets the upper hand by incapacitating the dog with some pepper. He then smashes the dog's head with a pipe. With Drummond defeated, the other dogs under his control disperse.
