Bo: cool i got a real smart dog!

Luke: don't brag about it cousin

Bo: Awww yer just jelious.(sp?)

me: well while those two are goin' on about nothin' lets get on with the story!

Yeller: WOOF!

Jesse Duke had come to a decision about the dog. After seeing what the dog could do, Jesse told everyone to go inside the house and he would tell them his decision.

"Ok everyone. I have decided about the dog. I think it would be nice to have a dog around the farm." Everyone looked at Jesse with excited faces. "But he can only stay on one condition."

"What's that Uncle Jesse?" Bo asked his uncle.

"The condition is that you have to take care of him." Jesse said pointing to Bo. "This means that you have to buy his food, clean up after him, and bathe him. And anything else that he may need."

"Why me Uncle Jesse?"

"Well he seems to have taken a liking to you and you're the only one he seems to listen to."

"Oh ok. How hard can it be?" Bo asked himself mostly. Bo had never had any pets of his own so it was a new experience for him. Bo looked down at the yeller dog sitting next to him, wagging his long shaggy tail.

"Well fella looks like ya got yerself a new home. Now what to name ya. I need to think of a good name that suits you."

"Don't strain yourself to much bro."

"Cute. Now then what should your name be? Hmmm… I got it. How's about Yeller?" The dog looked up at Bo and wagged his tail and barked a response that Bo seemed to have understood.

'Whoa that was weird.' Bo thought to himself. Jess heard what her brother had thought.

"What's weird Bo?" Jess asked.

"Huh oh uhhh… nothin'. I just thought I heard Yeller say something."

"Well he did. He barked something. But of course we don't know what he said. We don't speak dog remember?" Jess said matter of factly.

"Yea I guess yer right. Well I gotta run into town to get him some dog food and stuff. I'll see ya guys later." Bo said as he got up and started towards the door. Before he opened the door to go outside, Bo whistled for Yeller to come. Yeller got up and jogged over to where his master was waiting. They both walked out of the house at the same time and made their way down the steps and over to the General Lee. Bo wondered if Yeller could get into the General by himself.

"Ok Yeller. See if'n you can't get in the General by yerself." Yeller looked at Bo then turned his attention towards the General. After eyeing the car for a minute he backed up a few steps and took a flying leap into the car. Yeller made it into the car with no problem and climbed over to the passenger seat and waited for Bo to get in as well. Bo started the engine and backed up enough to get out of the driveway. They started down the road on their way into town sitting side by side.

Luke looked out the window and saw Bo and Yeller going down the road in the General.

"Boy that dog sure is smart." Luke said.

"I don't know. I think my brother has more to do with that dog being so smart then he realizes."

"What do ya mean?" Luke asked suddenly confused.

"What I mean is that I think Bo has another power then what we though before. I heard him say something to himself."

"What was that?"

"Well I think he said something like 'that was weird'. He thought that right after Yeller barked."

"Ok. Well we all know how he can get when he's excited about something. Oh well I guess we'll just have to wait and see." Luke said.

"Yea I guess yer right. Well we best get dinner started. C'mon Daisy let's get started."

"I'm right behind ya cousin." Daisy said.

Bo and Yeller made it to town and were in the process of getting out of the General when someone that nobody in Hazzard was too fond of came strolling by placing fake parking tickets on the windshields of the parked cars. Bo noticed the local sheriff coming closer to the General. He didn't pay any attention to the sheriff as he and Yeller passed him on their way to the store. The sheriff noticed Bo had a dog with him and presumed that the dog was stolen from the county animal shelter. The sheriff and county commissioner are always trying to get the Dukes in trouble for some false charge. The sheriff pulled out his pearl handled handgun and pointed it at both Bo and Yeller.

"FREEZE!" The sheriff yelled. Bo and Yeller were equally surprised and seemed to jump at the same time. They turned around and looked at the sheriff.

"What is it Rosco? What did I do this time?"

"Don't play dumb with me Bo Duke! I know you Dukes ain't got enough money to have a dog. So that would only mean one thing."

"What would that be?"

"That would be grand theft dog."

"What? There ain't no such thing!" Bo yelled at the sheriff. "I found this dog or I should say he found me this morning. We ran into each other at the farm. He's been following me around ever since. We just came into town to get him some food."

"Oh I don't want to hear yer Duke lies. Now c'mon over here so I can cuff ya an' stuff ya." Rosco said.

"You'll have to catch us first. C'mon Yeller!" With that Bo and Yeller took off down the street with Rosco in hot pursuit. Bo saw an old ally that had a lot of trash cans and garbage bags sitting around. Bo decided to hide behind some of the trash bags and wait until Rosco passed. Bo whistled to Yeller who seemed to know immediately what to do. He followed Bo into the ally and jumped behind some trash bags with his owner. Rosco didn't see them go into the ally so he just kept going straight. Once Bo thought it was safe to leave the ally he and Yeller got up and made their way to the store to get some dog food.

They didn't have any more problems with Hazzard's so called 'law enforcement' so they took their good old time getting the rest of the supplies that Bo would need to take care of Yeller. After they got done with everything that needed done, Bo decided to get some ice cream before him and Yeller went home. Bo got a double scoop vanilla almond in a cone and got Yeller a small cup of vanilla. Bo was surprised at how much Yeller liked ice cream.

Bo decided to go back to the store and get a pint of vanilla ice cream that he would split with Yeller later on. After they got done in town Bo and Yeller decided to go take the ice cream home first and then go to Hazzard Pond for a little bit of fishing. Bo decided to not tell Luke or anyone that he was going to Hazzard Pond with Yeller for some fishing so he decided to tell them that he forgot something in town and had to go back. When they got back to the farm Bo was surprised to see no one was home. Bo walked in the kitchen and saw a note on the kitchen table. He looked at the note.

Dear Bo,

We went to Jackie's house to help her with a fence and some other work she needed done. We tried to call you on the CB but you didn't answer. We'll be back around supper time. Don't forget to get the table set and dinner heated up. It's the tuna casserole in the large glass dish on the second shelf in the refrigerator.

Love,

Daisy

Bo looked at the note and then decided to go ahead and get the table set so all he had to do was heat up the food when he got back. After Bo got the table set, he left a note on the table just incase Jesse and his cousins and sister got back before he did. Once Bo was done with that he went out to the barn and got his tackle box and fishing pole and loaded them into the back seat of the General. Yeller was still waiting in the car for Bo to come back out.

Bo climbed in the General and started the engine and pulled out of the drive toward the pond. When they got there Bo turned on the radio and found an old Conway Twitty song that Bo found himself and Yeller singing along to. They had a good time fishing and caught a lot of fish that he thought would be good enough for dinner tomorrow night. Unknown to Bo and Yeller they were being followed by a not so friendly person. Bo noticd that they were being followed by a black mustange(sp?).

Bo decided to turn down another road away from the farm. The driver of the black car saw Bo turn down the other road and followed him. The driver of the black carsaw a clearing up ahead that was big enough for a car to fit through. The driver turned left and seemed to have disappeared. Bo didn't see the driver turn off a ways back and that made him think that he lost the black car. The driver of the black car never took his eyes off the General Lee. He saw a clearing up ahead that would be perfect to ambush the General Lee.

When the black car got the clearing, the driver turned the wheel sharply to the right and came out in front of the General. Bodidn't have any time to react and sideswiped the black car. Bo lost control of the General and went into a spin. The General hit the side of the road and flipped off the side of the road. The General rolled down the embankment several times before finally coming to a rest some thirty feet below. The driver pulled over and got out of his car and walked over to the spot where the General had gone off. He saw a sight that made him feel good. Laying partially under the roof of the General Lee was Bo. Then he saw another body laying next to Bo. It was also a sight that made the man feel good.

"A boy and his dog. Hehehe looks like they are gonna die together. Oh well." With that the man walked over to his car and pulled out the CB mic.

"Raven to White Sheep, Raven to White Sheep you got your ears on come back."

'This here's White Sheep. Go ahead Raven.'

"Good news Boss. I took care of that Duke boy and his dog. Not to mention that orange clunker car General Lee."

'Good good nowI want you to high tail it back to town. I'll tell ya what to do next when you get here.'

"Got it Boss. 10-4." With that the man got back into his car and started towards town. Leaving the wreck of the General Lee in his dust.
