I cannot imagine doing a Lucius book without Wobbly. He represents everything we all love in the American mutt. Our dogs are often goofy and perhaps a bit ugly.They are also more loving and loyal than any human being. Sometimes that love will manifest in ways we would prefer it didn't. Yet, our humble canines always find a way to leave us laughing with joy.
Book Excerpt
Humor Deeper Than A Holler
I heard a faint noise at the edge of the woods and started walkin’ that direction. A moment later, Wobbly popped out carryin’ a dead skunk inside his massive jaws. I looked up to the sky and asked the good Lord what mischief I had done got myself into that I deserved such a mornin’. Wobbly was trying his best to get across that field. Lawd, he was a funny sight. A part of that skunk’s body would get under one of his short legs and send Wobbly rollin’. He’d get up, pick the thing back up in his mouth, run a few feet, and do it all over again.
