Dogs of The Zero
Honey & Pokey
People always ask what that is I'm wearing around my neck.
It's Honey's therapy-dog tag. —Andrew Vachss

Excerpted from the 70th Anniversary Celebrations of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine:
Beginning in 1986, EQMM hired its own photographers and studios to shoot well-known mystery writers, and sometimes actors, in scenarios devised by the art director and editor. ... Perhaps most memorable was the photo shoot of Andrew Vachss, who agreed to appear only if his pit pull, Honey, could share the frame. Since Honey had to be transported from the Vachss home in Queens, EQMM hired a car service to pick up what had been described to the driver only as "a dog." A brief moment of conflict ensued when the terrified driver spotted Honey, but she was finally allowed to get in the car—and she proved, throughout the long ride and shoot, to be as sweet as her name. |
The myth is that pit bulls are inherently dangerous to children.
The truth is, just like with people, you get what you raise.

Honey
Pit bull. Unstoppable, in both love and protectiveness.
A poem by Honey Pit Bull ...

Come out
Come Out
Come Out!
COME OUT!!

Honey Pit Bull, on the job!
Pokey
Pit bull. Honey's partner-for-life. A mean old boy who counts Honey as the one exception to his "I can beat any dog in the house" credo. |
