The Great Escape – Episode 11: Buck Norris Strikes Again

It was 8:45 PM.

The boys were outside doing what every good hound does before bedtime...

Business.

The yard was peaceful.

Quiet.

Too quiet.

Then, from the darkness at the edge of the woods came a familiar voice...

"Pssst... hey, yard dogs... y'all wanna play chase?"

It was none other than Buck Norris, the neighborhood's most wanted deer.

The silence shattered.

Barking erupted.

The mission had begun.

My wife and I were upstairs when our youngest made a valiant attempt to call the boys back inside.

She almost had them...

Until she rounded the corner just in time to witness the last hound perform a flawless slide under a brand-new escape tunnel.

And we know it was brand new...

Because Pops had just completed his daily perimeter inspection while mowing the lawn earlier that afternoon.

Apparently, the enemy had been busy.

Mom and Dad scrambled into the truck and began the now-routine neighborhood patrol.

As we rounded the first corner...

There it was.

Buck Norris sprinting across a yard...

With Dean tucked in behind him like he had finally qualified for the Olympics.

There was absolutely no stopping him.

He had entered what can only be described as...

Hound Mode.

A little farther down the road, we spotted Roscoe.

Less than 50 yards from home.

Completely exhausted.

Tongue hanging out.

His expression clearly said,

"You know what... this was a terrible idea."

When I opened the truck door, he accepted the ride without so much as a second thought.

Mission over.

Two driveways later...

There stood Winchester.

Looking around in complete confusion.

He circled the truck two or three times while Mom repeatedly yelled,

"Winchester! Get in!"

I swear he looked at us like...

"Well... this is embarrassing."

He finally climbed in, still pretending he had absolutely no idea how he ended up three streets away.

So within ten minutes...

Two of the three fugitives had been apprehended.

But one seasoned veteran remains at large.

Dean.

The retired hunting dog is still out there following a scent that probably crossed the neighborhood sometime around 1997.

If you happen to see one determined hound conducting unauthorized nighttime patrols...

Please let me know.

He's friendly.

He's stubborn.

And if history is any indication...

He's probably headed toward BFE before realizing he forgot where he lives.
