The highly acclaimed novella "The Sun Dog" by the renowned author Stephen King, originally featured in his 1990 story collection titled "Four Past Midnight," has been released as a standalone publication. Initially, when he pressed the shutter-button for the first time, he believed it to be his own. However, now he finds himself contemplating the possibility that he may have misunderstood the situation.

Kevin Delevan, on the occasion of his fifteenth birthday, desires nothing more than a Polaroid Sun 660. However, there is an unsettling anomaly with his gift. Regardless of where Kevin directs the camera, the photographs it captures depict an enormous, vicious dog. In each subsequent image, the menacing creature appears to be closing in on the flat surface of the Polaroid film, as if it intends to break through.

When the astute trader Old Pop Merrill from Castle Rock becomes aware of this peculiar phenomenon, he develops a scheme to capitalize on it. However, the Sun Dog, a creature that should not exist at all, proves to be a highly risky investment.
