Notes: THE SKINBOARD was collected from Tommy Anderson of Brasstown, NC in 1967. It was The Skinboard and On a Saturday One Spring of this collection which started this compiler on a search for additional dog tales. Tommy was raised in Green Cove not far from Dog Branch where the local saying is \\u201cThere are more Greens on Dog Branch than dogs in Green Cove.\\u201d

\\n

I have subsequently heard The Skinboard tale many times in North Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, and West Virginia. The epilogue about finding the dog in Kentucky was made up on the spot by Bill Sparks of Paint Lick, Kentucky about 1976 as we swapped tales in route to a country dance engagement in Cincinnati, Ohio.
