I came here with some friends and saw some something on the floor, which seemed to catch light. When I bent over to see what it was, a hand reached out from the object and pulled me in. I am currently still in the ruins, but I can't seem to see anyone else, and everything feels a little off.

The House of the Tragic Poet in Pompeii was named after a famous mosaic depicting a scene from a play by Euripides. The mosaic warns visitors with the phrase "Beware of the Dog." The house also contains other well-preserved frescoes and decorative elements.

Worth the visit for the "Cave Canem" sign (beware of the dog), though the frescoes inside are quite cool too

Some famous spot for a comic fun. You can enjoy how stupid “the boss” was to hide the key here; there is no crack in this doggy floor. Furthermore, you cannot enter and touch since the glass barrier has been implemented, which makes it harder to take nice picture here.

it was great, until some red headed guy in a green suit with a purple tie poisoned my entire being, soul included, while screaming something about a song from jimi hendrix, i think it was something along the lines of "magenta mist" or something. overall 10/10

Note that the famous "Beware of the dog" mosaic is on Via della Terme (marble marker #7).
The house itself was closed to visitors when we were there.

Specifically for March 2015, this was closed during regular hours meaning that only the (replica of the) famous "beware of dog" mosaic could be viewed behind a gate.
