Author’s Note: The recent publicity about the disgraceful practice of professional dog fighting reminded me of this little tribute I wrote to a deceased dog friend. It was published in Exquisite Corpse and is hanging on the apartment wall of Abner’s human companion. Abner was the perfect name for the little dog. His yellow...
