I fear that, with my past post, I suggested that Charley wasn't real. As it turns out, Charley the Dog did exist, but that the roadtrip of Steinbeck and Charley might not have.
Below is a video of Thomas Steinbeck telling funny stories about his father and the title canine.
On a similar note, can you imagine growing up as the son of the guy who wrote Of Mice and Men? Think of all the crap you would get on the playground, with all the punks asking you, "Where are the rabbits, Tom? Where are the rabbits?"
I am so happy with this video. Now I can use it and seem like a better teacher. Haha. Charley was definitely real--it's the trip that's problematical. Thank you so much for this posting.
