An interesting tweet was sent my way by a reader. In it, Riley Stearns recounts the story of an unusual duel. Click the image below for a larger view.
The story sounds almost too good to be true, but after over six centuries, I suspect we won’t be able to find out anything more. Still, it’s the kind of story that should be true, IMHO. Well done, that dog!

Must be true. They have a picture.
