I’m not a violent person. Sure, I kicked ass on the ice rink back in the day. But that day was thirty-six years and two wives ago. And ice hockey is to countering a violent attack what Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders are to the Tennessee Golden Girls Senior Softball Team. I’m not saying the Golden Girls couldn’t kick my ass or a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader for that matter (assuming no pre-nup), but . . . what was I saying? Oh yeah, I don’t know if I could do this. Could you? “The boy reached to pet the dog, who was in its cage, through the slots in the cage door,” dailymail.co.uk reports. “The dog bit the boy’s left hand, completely severing the pinky and possibly breaking his forearm. The boy’s father then shot the dog multiple times, killing it – then he ‘retrieved the severed finger from the dog’s stomach,’ according to the sheriff’s office.”
