Hello, kids Patches is my name. I'm a Tennessee hound dog and, sometimes, a livestock guardian to some dumb clucks or chickens, as my owners call them. My people adore me so they make up nicknames for me like Rocky Top Rover, or, when I get into trouble, Stinkaroo. My story is scary near the end. It gives a dog shivers. Will that cold, clammy feeling lead to the end of my happy family life?
