FACT or FICTION: Chapter 14
Did Dallas jump through a screen door to attack General?
He did jump through the screen as described after a dog and I'm pretty sure it was General . No fight ensued however as we broke it up.
Did the dogs really converge to take on General?
No, all fiction. No dog food truck. No rear end collision. No romp through the game farm. It was a nice climax to the plot of their freedom.
Then obviously Dallas wasn't shot!
Incorrect! Everything that happened from the point of me letting Dallas in the house through taking him to the vet was true. At the time it wasn't determined what sliced him open down his torso but years later an x-ray revealed a slug still inside him. He was shot.
Was General's abusive back story true?
Fiction- for all I know he spent his youth cuddling with cats.
Authors Notes:
I have to admit, I never gave my dad his change back so subsuquently when I went on an ice cream run you can be sure Dallas didn't get any.
Is it just me or are kids less likely to go inner tubing on the river. Water hole swimming was a blast.
