SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS

 

   
BARNEY:
 
We owned such a dog, and he did read my mind. When we acquired him third hand, we were told he "ran away and got on trains." (Apparently his first owner was a commuter.) He looked like Chewbacca and only did two interesting things in his life. He raised hell in the middle of the night when a vagrant crossed the school property where we lived. Then once when we were on vacation, he blocked the bedroom doorway where our kids were sleeping and growled at the babysitter.
