An Analogy for Dudley

On September 7, 1996, Tupac Shakur was the victim of a drive-by shooting on Las Vegas Boulevard. After attending the Mike Tyson/Bruce Seldon boxing match, Shakur was shot five times and taken to a nearby hospital. Although some say that Tupac Shakur was pronounced dead six days after entering the hospital, there have been many speculations that Tupac is still alive. The staggering evidence includes a lack of photographs from the hospital and talk of his own funeral in an album released after his “death”.

Yesterday, I learned that around the same time, give or take five years, Dudley, previously mentioned in http://notinbookershouse.blogspot.com/2006/01/eulogy-for-dudley.html , like Tupac, was never officially pronounced dead. Having not heard from Dudley in ten-odd years, my brother and I made the likely assumption that Dudley had either passed of old age or committed suicide. Not so. New information has surfaced and we learned that in actuality, Dudley ran away from home and was never rescued by his owners. Is Dudley still out there? Has anyone heard from him? Is the poor bastard still puttering around being sullen? Dudley, if you’re reading this, please email me at lkaplan44@gmail.com.
