“I know it's a wild theory, but   
that's why I let that dog go on you    
Crim, and guess what happened Beth? Did
he tell you what happened next?”       
     “He just told me that the dog     
started licking him, and then about    
that collar trick he does.”            
     “You didn't tell her, did you?”   
     “Tell her what?”                  
     Randy looked back at Beth, “He    
just opened his arms out wide and      
invited the dog in to rip his throat   
out. I knew Sandy wouldn’t do that, or 
even hurt him, but I also didn't expect
the Criminal to just open himself up   
like that.”                            
     He looked back at me, “That dog,  
Sandy...” he stopped and was obviously 
searching for the right way to say what
he said next, “Let me put it this way, 
* I wouldn't be surprised if someday she   
was put to sleep for mauling a child.  
She can be that vicious.”              
     “Yeah, that makes me feel so much 
better,” I said sarcastically, as I ap-
pealed to Beth, so she could see for   
herself, the whole unfairness of the   
thing.                                 
     “Beth, he told me he was the one  
taking chances. He didn't say anything 
about my chances of surviving a vi-    
cious animal attack. Didn't even men-  
tion it. Told me it was better if I    
didn't know. As soon as I started to   
smell something funny, that's when I   
called you.”                           
     But before she could answer, the  
two girls came running back inside,    
both asking Randy excitedly, “Can we   
get a couple bunnies Daddy? Please!”
