In The Yard, Brutus Latro is known as a Cane Corso who is stitched out of patience, weight, and a stubborn fairness. Brutus Latro has named every cracked tile near the fountain steps in The Yard and refuses to share the list. Even the glassbirds quiet for a moment when Brutus Latro walks under the leaning tree. Brutus Latro is convinced the world gets a little fairer every time a friend laughs near the lower mall after rain season.
