A Tale of Two DogsCopyright © 1997 Property of Deborah K. Fletcher for Florence MacLennan Brown. All rights reserved.My cousin Rod and I each had a dog. They were either Labrador or Chesapeake Bay retrievers. The latter, I think. I named my dog Sooner. I treated Sooner well, and loved him, and he was a good dog. I trained him to retrieve ducks from the hunt. Sooner loved to swim, and we would swim together. Rod was of a different temperament than I was. He disciplined his dog with punishment, rather than with love. He was mean to the dog. Over time, the poor dog naturally turned mean in his turn. Eventually, they had to get rid of Rod's dog because he was so mean. Please View and Sign My Guestbook © 1998-2000 Debbie Fletcher, joiya@tcia.net
