Notes: CITY SLICKER AND BIRD DOG was collected from Judy Hamilton in 1979. Judy, a student in my Folk Arts Class at Berea College, heard this tale from Willie Baxter of Casey County, Kentucky. I have heard the same tale from Anita Waldridge, a 1989 Folk Arts student who got it from Lisa Keoku about 1971. Both girls gave this ending, \\u201cI\\u2019m going to throw him up one more time and if he don\\u2019t fly, I\\u2019m going to kill him.\\u201d I felt that \\u201cI want a refund\\u201d made a better ending and decided to tell the story from the dog\\u2019s point of view.
