He loved to scratch his back under one of my great grandfather's wagons. He'd lean up into the axle and rub back and forth until his itch was gone.
Then he'd growl 'cause it was meal time, and he'd go catch something to eat.
That dog scared the heck out of me.
I was in Southern Indiana in the early 60s. I remember seeing one of these puppies. It was covered with reddish brown and black spots. It looked like those wild dogs in Africa that natives have. Really creepy. I understand how they could scare somebody.
