Mícheál Ó Mainnín always wondered whether his grandfather had been telling the truth.

When Mr. Ó Mainnín was growing up on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland, there was no radio or television to pass the time, he said, so people would tell stories. His grandfather had many, but he told one more than others.

Grandpa told of the man with a movie camera taking a scene with him. Just for fun he stuck a pipe in his dogs mouth. This was back in the 1920s.

That is the opening scene of the portion of film in the article.
