IQ1: Did a gigantic dog with blazing eyes tear your throat out in a Sherlock Holmes story?..

IIRC he was injured but didn’t actually have his throat torn out, but yes, I was thinking of

Sir Henry Baskerville

Canadian-born client of Sherlock Holmes in the famous tale: The Hound of the Baskervilles - Wikipedia

Good job, KO!

[Knowed_Out]

Actually, I was thinking of Hugo Baskerville, the evil patriarch.

You want the next round again EH? I’ll leave it up to you.

[Elendil_s_Heir]

Nah, you were very close. Take it away.

[Prof.Pepperwinkle]

Good job, KO! Good choice, EH!

As it would happens, I just finished reading a supernatural spoof of the story, Warlock Holmes and the Hell-Hound of the Baskervilles, Gabriel Denning. The version had the following to recommend it: 1) it kept the same general tone as the origin; 2) it was generally amusing; 3) it was short.
