Based on the legend of, the Black Shuck.

The legend goes-
One of the most notable reports of Black Shuck is of his appearance at the churches of Bungay and Blythburgh in Suffolk. On 4 August 1577, at Blythburgh, Black Shuck is said to have burst in through the church doors. He ran up the nave, past a large congregation, killing a man and boy and causing the church tower to collapse through the roof. As the dog left, he left scorch marks on the north door which can be seen at the church to this day.

Pokemon Version-
A couple people were standing in a line to heal their Pokemon. Houndoom burst into the Pokemon Center with rage, he was sick, his Overheat attack overwhelmed him and everyone in there. Houndoom wanted to figure out how to heal himself, but he set the building aflame because of the powerful Overheat. The inside of the Pokemon Center started collapsing from the roof because of the destruction of the machines. Houndoom fled, leaving deep gouges in the door from his scorching claws.

Also, pictures of the scorch marks: [link]

I feel as if this should have been a Mightyena instead (because it's a hairy dog), but the whole 'fire ability' thing begged for a Houndoom. I hope that someone else does the Black Shuck and draws a Mightyena to go along with it ^^ Houndoom is more suitable for a Hellhound...but Hellhound didn't have a cool story or anything, just that it signifies death and stuffs =S
