"Appalachian musician/storyteller Josh Goforth told of his Grandpa Sam, hearing a commotion in the chicken yard and finding the neighbor’s dog tearing into his flock, blood and feathers everywhere.
"He went back in the house for his shotgun and dealt with the dog appropriately.
"Pretty soon the sheriff turned up: 'Sam, you can’t just go around killing your neighbor’s dogs. Mr. Clanton says that was his champion hunting dog that you killed.'
"Grandpa replied, 'Sheriff, any time Booger Clanton finds any of my chickens upta’ his place, killin’ his dogs, he has my permission to shoot ‘em.'”
HAPPY HALLOWEEN Y'ALL
