daughters who found the pet, and maybe all three of them believed Ennis just keeps it for his girls, but Jack and the dog know better. It's Ennis' dog.
Then, late at night, when Ennis thinks he's asleep, Jack can hear it clear as a bell. The dog's name isn't Yellow. Ennis calls him Jackie.

Big smile lits his face, almost equally matched by the one in his companion's face as the vehicle emerges between the trees. As soon an the door opens, something black and furry tumbles out, barking and bouncing like a rubber ball.
"What's this?"
"Guess!"
"Good to see you". They embrace before Jack continues.
"So, who's this little fella?"
"This is Yellow. Junior's and Francine's dog. They found him somewhere on a back road. Alma didn't want no dog in the house. And after he trashed some of her good china she threw him out. The girls asked me to keep him for them. Didn't want no dog either." Ennis ends with a frown, looking down on the still yapping creature.
"You hush now" he scolds the dog.
Jack kneels beside the now quiet animal.
"He's cute. But why's his name Yellow? He's jet black."
Ennis shrugs "It's s'posed to be funny."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing."
"En, I heard ya."
"Was talkin' to the dog."
"But I heard ya say my name."
"Didn't."
