Lawdog,

I post my vote for a book also.

Bill Jordan wrote a very thin book; Pat Mcmanus has authored a few books too. From what I have read here, your stories are just as good. Please give serious consideration to compiling your stories into a book!

In any event, thank you for what you have posted!

Yes, please. These would beat Northern Exposure and Reno 911 for one of the greatest programs ever.

Who knows an agent? Literary, or Hollywood? Either a book or a series would become an instant classic.

Maybe if an agent waves a fat contract under Lawdog's nose...

Yes, they'd be all the better because they'd be based on real events.

Hmmmmm. Do we KNOW that's true? Lawdog didn't take any "liberties" with the facts? How much wiggle-room is there in "based on actual events?"

Great stories LawDog.

Being fairly new to TFL this is the first I have read this thread.

These stories represent to me what law enforcement is about. Some who take your profession do so to of a desire to mistreat people. Many take your profession for more noble reasons.

Thanks for your noble service to your community and humanity in general.

I took the liberty of printing out all of them, putting them in a loose leaf folder, and putting them in our squad room. It's by far the most popular book there; even more than Playboy .

I just want to point out some economics.

Stephen A. Camp is getting $14 for his self-published novel. I bought a copy and it is well worth it.

A well-published copy of the LawDog files, with just a couple of new stories in it, could bring at least that much. A couple thousand copies sold to your buddies at TFL and other sites would go a long way toward boosting the retirement plan.

Why do you do this to us Mr. Dog? We need our monthly fix, Rich I think as part of being on the TFL staff, LawDog should be required to give us, at the minimum one story a month, now thats not asking alot. Lawdog as has been said where is the book. Thank you for the laughs, we also need the ending of the pink gorrilla story. God Bless

Any .45, have you been following his web log? I hope that I'm not out of line by posting this link.

Lots of good stuff; don't miss the Ratel story, and ... {/long-winded 'Hey, Lookit' post that's best stopped before I get rolling}.

I read it daily.

Oh, that's gotta hurt....

If you go to the LawDog blog you will see and read of his nose, the surgery, the fishing. I hope it heals OK.

Maybe there will be a story involving the Roman helmet.

This thread is beautiful!!!! As Everybody's Favorite Newbie, this thread has pulled more laughter out of me than every other internet forum combined!!!


Mr. Lawdog: my goals and aspirations in life lead me to desire a career in law enforcement. Hearing LEO stories is just as good as hearing my Grandpa talk about the hell he raised when he was a teenager. Hearing Your Personal Events make the rest pale in comparison.

I wish my (hopefully) future career gives me as many entertaining stories, without any holes through my gut (wouldn't want to leak like Bugs Bunny or nothin'). Thank you for the inspiration and hilariously told tales. I doubt the words would be half as hilarious coming from someone else's keyboard! Excellent writing voice!
