Dog with an Ice Cream Trust Account

During two summers while attending Yale Law School

I worked as a Good Humor truck vendor

Around the City Of Thompsonville

About 15 miles from Hartford, Connecticut 

The job was strenuous, in and out of the truck all day long

But the earnings were good

25% of the amount from the ice cream sold

So I worked as many hours as I physically could 

As my first season progressed

And I gained experience

I learned that dogs could hear me ringing the bells on my truck

At a great distance 

So what I then routinely did was ring the bells frequently toward the end of one street

Which had the effect in essence

Of causing my dog customers

To alert their masters to my forthcoming presence 

So what frequently happened

Was when I appeared on the next street what I would see

Would be my dog and human customers lined up at the curb together

Making serving them much easier than it would otherwise be 

There is one story about a dog on my route

That I think is really neat

The owner paid me in advance

The cost of me providing his dog his daily ice cream treat 

The way it worked was as follows

When the dog approached my truck, which he routinely did

The next thing to occur

Would be for me to grab a vanilla Dixie cup, and give it to the dog, after removing the lid 

I don’t really know what various financial arrangements have occurred

Concerning dog owners and the pets they love

But the first establishment of an ice-cream trust account

May have been as described above
