All Good Dogs: Stories about Good Dogs and the People Who Love Them

Hello there, friends, Iâ€™m Rabbit Redbone.
Back in the seventies, I had a little radio call-in show called â€œAll Good Dogsâ€, and it was aboutâ€¦you guessed itâ€¦dogs! Now, I wasnâ€™t what youâ€™d call a celebrity, but folks did start to get to know me, and I had a decent little following. I did that for a few years before I went on to be the cook at a kidsâ€™ day camp. Turned out I was a halfway decent cook, which is about two-thirds better than I was at working the radio buttons. Still, though, it was nice to hear peopleâ€™s stories, and I do miss it sometimes even to this day.
Let me tell you a little about it.
First of all, hereâ€™s how Iâ€™d start each broadcast:
â€œHello there, friends, Iâ€™m Rabbit Redbone. Now, a course, that ainâ€™t a hunner percent my real name, but it surely is what I know by now. My mom calls me Rabbit, and my dad does the same. My three sisters call me Rabbit, too, and itâ€™s all because my little brother couldnâ€™t say â€˜Robertâ€™, and I guess it stuck mostly because that little tike died when he was three. I think itâ€™s his voice I hear sometimes in the wee still hoursâ€¦maybe heâ€™s calling out to me from Heaven, trying to let me know that everythingâ€™s okay.â€
That always got me a little, you know? So Iâ€™d take a swallow of air, and then Iâ€™d go on:
â€œBut anyways, itâ€™s the name Iâ€™m most used to, so, you can go ahead and call me Rabbit. Friends, if you donâ€™t know by now, then youâ€™re surely finding it out todayâ€¦I love dogs. Big dogs, little â€™uns. Barkers, howlers, whiners. Breeds, mixes, mutts. Workers and couch potatoes alike. In fact, I ainâ€™t never met a dog I didnâ€™t like! Even the bad ones are good ones. Yes, friends, they are all good dogs.â€

See, thatâ€™s how I got the name of my radio show.
And now this here book, too.
