Bobo Machinegun A Dog and His Man and a Chimp (With a Machinegun)

Corporal Terrance "Tare" McGee, retired, was the prodigal princeling of his Texas trailer park until the United States Army decided to euthanize his former partner, a military working dog, also retired, named 'Perquisite' or, most affectionately, 'Perq'. Driven by un undeniable sense of honor, duty and loyalty, Tare successfully rescued Perq from certain doom amid the veterinary kennels of the local Army base, but reports of violent assault and stolen automobiles only end one way in Texas, without regard to motive. Confronting their new status as fugitive outlaws, Tare and Perq pursue their only conceivable course of action when they load Tare's truck with snack foods, drugs and liquor. Collecting an endangered chimp named "Bobo" along the way, they flee into the vast, epic potential of an early Texas evening.This is the true-to-life story of the next forty-eight hours in the lives of a dog and his man and a chimp with a machinegun. Though it relates the bizarre sequence of events that would ultimately place a Squad Automatic Weapon into the hands of a drunken two-year-old primate, this tale cannot adequately rationalize anything else that happened. After all, the who-what-when-where-and-how of a thing are matters of records and databases, and, as such, come easily. Alternately, the 'whys' of a thing are human constructs fashioned of secretive thoughts, perverse motivations and, oftentimes, deluded ideations - as to the nature of these concepts, then, bystanders, witnesses and passersby can only guess. At the least, this lyrical American fable will ultimately provide one startling insight into the nature of the human condition... a monkey with a machinegun is not always an entirely undesirable happenstance.
