http://burnettstories.blogspot.com/2007/11/telling-time.html

Exploring beauty, mortality, faith. Yanking trail shoes over socks is enough. Indy hears from three rooms away; I may as well have said. In his ear. He muzzles me and sings his petition. I rev him,. Where’s your leash? Now his croon is resolute. Indiana Jones is a Yakima Farmdog, a blend of Red Heeler, Husky, and Shepherd. These are guesses, of course, since he bears no pedigree.
