"Women love dogs!" Henry proclaimed. "Why I'll take this ole mutt down to the park and he'll cause the dames to overlook my physical offensiveness long enough for me to work my charm."

Henry's charm was actually Jesus' charm. That is, Jesus Cantalano from 4th street. Jesus tended to the landscaping for just about every family on the block ever since he got expelled from high school for selling cocaine, and he and Henry had developed a rapport over many a hot summer day spent conversating under the shade of the willow tree near the library. Jesus told Henry everything he knew about women, which was a lot.

Jesus said he once had trouble getting women to pay attention to him, just like Henry - that is, until he started slipping them mickeys. So there you have the secret of Jesus' charm, and in this instance, Henry's, for shortly after learning of such a chemical wingman, Henry paid Jesus $25 for a few pills that would help him in his endeavour of getting laid. The mutt would merely help him distract the ladies long enough to slip it in whatever beverage they happened to be carrying whilst strolling through the park, be it water, country time lemonade, or an ice cold can of Coors light.
