A Right Charming Story about a working class dog

By Ed Waggener

My favorite Marcum by name brother in law, Keith Marcum, Georgetown, IN, is a great story teller, almost the equal of his mother, Geniece Marcum, who retold the tale about a dog's inadequate table manners, which follows.
Keith was bird hunting with an uncle and an employee of his uncle's. The dogs had a successful hunt and were hungry. The employee got out some bread and potted meat to feed his dog and methodically began the assembly, while the hungry dog waited impatiently. The man finished slathering the first slice with the potted meat, then laid it on a stump while he opened the bread bag to get a slice to top it.

While he was doing that, the hungry dog grabbed the food from the stump, which angered his owner.

"Idiot!" the man yelled as he slapped the food out of the dog's mouth. "It ain't a sandwich yet."
That, we thought, was a charming tale about a truly deserving Dog socio-economic class. It's a genre CM pays too little attention to, instead hyperbolizing the exploits of the elitist intelligentsia of Dogdom, the likes of the controversially partisan Jack Russell Stephens; or Old Raymond, or Richie Janes' fortune creating Border Collie, which, on its own has multiplied the Richie fortune; or Tommy Grider's storebought German Shepherd with more degrees than a college president. It was posted in the interest of being Fair and Balanced. If anybody else has a story of similar nature to share, we're needing at least about four. -CM
