A Chicken, A Dog, And Some Karma

Justin George: TAMPA — The chickens belong to Ybor City but Tommy Stephens has taken a few under his wing.

The latest was Chicken Nugget, who lapped up Budweiser and napped on Stephens' chest. When the cock began to crow, Stephens put him in the open back yard with his wild brethren.

Last month, Chicken Nugget met a fowl fate. A dog got him. It had happened before, to other defenseless chickens.

Stephens wanted justice.

He never thought it would come the way it did.
