** Similarly, the Ysabel Kid is treated to dog stew on a visit to his "godmother" Raccoon Talker. While many Native Americans did relish dog, Comanche mostly despised it.
** He clearly made use of his dog-training background in ''Hound Dog Man'', which briefly features a USMarshal Waco grown to middle age but centres on Scobie Dale, a man who uses a whole variety of dogs to hunt dangerous predators such as stock-killing cougars and man-eating bears.

* TrickedIntoAnotherJurisdiction: In "A Chore for Company Z" in ''J.T.'s Hundredth'', Company Z is called when a Mexican lawman is killed investigating a rustling operation on Texas/Mexico border. Identifying the killer as a Texan rancher, they cannot arrest him as he cannot be extradited. On the pretext of taking him to a doctor for treatment for his gunshot wound, they place him in the back of a truck with an AngryGuardDog. The dog snarls at him every time he moves, even after the truck stops. Someone eventually calls the dog off and, when the rancher works up his courage to stick his head outside the truck, he finds he is in a Mexican village just over the border with the ''Federales'' waiting for him.

He had [[KillAndReplace killed his employer several years earlier and adopted his identity]] to work as a ProfessionalKiller. The comedian's fame allowed him to tour anywhere in the world, and he could disappear just by removing the makeup, as no one would suspect that the person under the blackface was actually black.
