The Legend of Sooner

I had a dog named Sooner - that dog hated rabbits. He was the best darned rabbit dog I ever had - boy, I loved that dog, and boy, did he hate rabbits.

Well, Sooner died, and gosh, he was such a good dog, that I had some gloves made from his hide - they were fine gloves, nice and warm. I went hunting one day, and I had those gloves with me. Well, I stopped for a snack, and I took those gloves off and put them on a stump.

A rabbit ran past me, and I didn't have my rifle in my hand, or I would have shot it. But that didn't matter, because wouldn't you know it, those gloves jumped right off that stump and choked that rabbit!


As told truthfully and to the best of his recollection, by Ronald Huey, former Sheriff of Cross County, Arkansas.
