FACT or FICTION: Chapter 5
Was Sherburne really on fire?
It was on our side of the street! The story about setting up the artificial tree and the odd smell was how I remember it. And yes, the row of businesses on East State Street were on fire and all the details about the fire were true.
Did Dallas and Sugar meet and fight at the fire?
Not that I was aware. I don't even know if either dog was even there.
How accurate is the encounter of Sugar finding Master Mark?
Just go to the Master & Mutt section of this web site and read the account in Mark's words.
Please tell me Dallas didn't piss on Quinn's fruit for customers.
Oh, yes he did. Every time he passed the place.
Did Dallas really run around the village in a Superman shirt and cape?
That was all true to the point of me letting him out of the house. What he did from there we'll just have to believe from his heavenly revelation. I did eventually go out a find him all wet and capeless.
Authors Notes:
I can't begin to tell you of the villages love of the Sherburne News. Sadly, much of the paper was modernized a few years back. How we miss the blury pictures and crooked type but the wholesome updates about the surrounding town activities will amuse any college city kid jaded by the negative content of city newspapers.
Captain and Cappy were brothers and good friends. I've yet to show them their mentions in this book but as painful as the fights between them were, they'll probbaly get a barrel of laughs over it now.
