The big black dog
He trotted up to the (stray) BBD in the Park, sniffing at his tail. That was the canine version of our handshake, said Marty Becker, DVM, a veterinarian in Bonner's Ferry, Idaho, and coauthor of Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul and Chicken Soup for the Cat and Dog Lover's Soul.
But I didn't think the BBD read Chicken Soup. Ignoring all laws of canine psychology he jumped around and repeatedly snapped at Lecter with his wolverine teeth.
With incredible dexterity, Lecter evaded every bite of death, even if only by the breath of a hair. However, by the third or fourth snap, Lecter's morale had been completely routed.
Giving a final bark of defiance, he retreated into the hillsides and onto the green little circle. There, he was rescued by the bai zhan jee knight who escorted him to the BBD-free sanctuaries of the Green Mordor.
It turns out that all those times of trying to hunt Lecter down either to leash him, bathe him or simply just to tease him, has turned Lecter into the dodge master. Nothing can touch him, not even the fearsome BBD. Winston Churchill would have been proud of him.
Everyone meets his big black dog (BBD) at least once in his lifetime. For Lecter, today was the day.
