THE HEARING-EAR DOG 4
Kendra Harness
[Comic]

For those who are Braille readers, a text description is provided below.

Not by Popular Demand! "The Hearing Ear Dog" Revenge of the Nerd. Our hero is having trouble fulfilling his expectations as a hearing-ear dog...

Puffy the Dog sleeps as the light flasher goes off, announcing the ringing phone. The floor vibrates and Puffy snaps awake. He runs in panic, only to screech to a halt, panting.

"Late again!"

Mother is typing on her TTY.

Puffy stalks off. "That cat isn't keeping her part of the bargain! I've already caught 2 mice for her!"

He remembers Killer the Cat smugly sitting at Father's feet with a dead mouse. Father remarks, "That's very good, Killer!"

Puffy is annoyed as he sees Killer sleeping on the floor. "Now that cat's happily asleep. How disgusting!"

A lightbulb goes off as Puffy gets an excellent idea.

See! What happens next! Thrill! To senseless violence!
