Placing a BofM	25 Mar 2005
I once placed a Book of Mormon with a German Shepherd, though I don't know whether he ever read it. My comp and I were going porte-à-porte somewhere around Paris (I don't now remember where) and I was optimistically wearing a Book of Mormon under each arm, in those Naugahyde sacoche things. We stopped at a house surrounded by tall shrubs, with a 'beware of dog' sign on the gate. We called and whistled, but heard and saw nothing, so we decided that the sign was a fake and went on in. As we walked toward the front door, we were walking parallel to the front porch, which was raised, veranda-style. Suddenly, without so much as a bark or growl, a large German Shepherd launched himself from the porch at my throat. Without even thinking, I drew a Book of Mormon from the opposite holster and thrust it edgewise at the dog, who was now in mid-air. He had leaped so hard that the book jammed firmly all the way back between his back teeth, and he was standing spraddle-legged on the walk shaking his head as he tried to get it out so that he could breathe. My companion and I legged it for the gate and slammed it behind us without waiting to see whether he was going to recover or not. When we got our breath back, I took out my carnet, and my companion asked me what I was doing. I told him that I was going to mark down 1 Book of Mormon placed, and that he was free to do the call-back if he wanted to.
