21. Counting Dog

Notes: COUNTING DOG was collected from Lewis Lamb of Paint Lick, Kentucky in 1980. This tales is widely known and is one most likely to be told when one asks for a dog tale. Lewis’s setting in the mountains is unusual and is probably his own addition to the tale. He is a first rate yarn spinner as well as a champion fiddler. (see RABIES SHOTS andSS-FF).
