No, phosphorus cannot make a dog or any living organism glow like in "The Hound of the Baskervilles." Phosphorus is a chemical element that exists in several forms, such as white phosphorus, red phosphorus, and black phosphorus. While white phosphorus can emit a faint glow when exposed to air due to its high reactivity, this phenomenon is known as phosphorescence or chemiluminescence, and it does not cause objects to emit a sustained or bright glow.

"The Hound of the Baskervilles" is a work of fiction, and the glowing hound depicted in the story is purely a fictional creation. Real-life phosphorus does not possess the capability to cause such a supernatural effect in animals or humans.
