Good doggie!

 

An interesting tweet was sent my way by a reader.  In it, Riley Stearns recounts the story of an unusual duel.  Click the image below for a larger view.



The story sounds almost too good to be true, but after over six centuries, I suspect we won't be able to find out anything more.  Still, it's the kind of story that should be true, IMHO.  Well done, that dog!
