I don't know how scarey this is, but it is true. About forty years ago O.L. Beckham had a "trade days" that would last about a week; there would be thousands of dogs and hundreds of people from all over the U.S. My brother and I didn't trade dogs, but we hunted dogs through the Spring and Summer and sold them to people at Beckhams. Some were for their own use and others we sold to people who took them back east and sold them. We could get from $150 to $200 for a good hound, for a couple of kids in high school that was half your summers wages. Any way a fellow from around the area wanted to look at the "Speck" dog we had; we'd hunted him two years and he was a top hound. I went with him hunting that night we had Speck and a dog of his. We hunted some hills near the Arkansas line, had treed a couple of coon and were leading the dogs down to another "Holler" . We came upon a small dump sight out in the middle of no where and there was a "dead" Collie dog there; the guy I was with had to urinate and he did so all over the dead dog. Those hounds ha d smelled all over that dog from one end to the other too. We went on hunting and came back past the dump on our way back to the car. We got just exactly upon the dead Collie, and he stood up and stared at us. He was a little wobbly, but definitely on his feet. All sorts of things race through your head, was the dog sick, did he have rabies? We raced out of there and kept looking back to see if the Collie was following us.
