The Shoeless Drunk

The shoeless drunk had an ugly brown chow ("Jake") who is dead now. At the park once he kicked Jake in the ribs, hard. But because none of us had the courage to eighty-six the shoeless drunk, he remained.

No one asked how Jake died. One day the shoeless drunk just showed up without him, swigging from a bottle of wine, saying Jake was dead. He finished off the wine and roared off in his truck.

How long do you think till he shows up with another (poor, doomed) dog?
