August is usually the heart of the dog days of summer in Philadelphia, sultry days when the air is soupy and most lawyers hide out in air conditioning or head to the shore. Not this year.

Remember Atticus’s expert marksmanship when the town was threatened by the crazed, rabid Johnson dog? I was taught to let sleeping dogs lie, especially sleeping hot dogs.
