Today's field note from Sgt. Puppy and the morning watch at Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont.

Typewriter-style note on cream paper, dated 05/01/26. Three paragraphs of monospace text reading: "This is the camp. Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont. The first real green's coming in. The black flies are plotting. The dogs don't keep score. It was Friday, May 1st. It was still chilly in Camp Puppy Haven. We were working the day watch out of the Anti-Brooding Squad. My partner's Murph. The boss is Captain Otis. My name's Puppy. A man was out on the porch trying to figure out what he'd done with the first four months of the year. The sun was on his face. He hadn't noticed." Signed THiNK LiKE A DOG.
