In The Yard, Brutus Ferro is known as a Cane Corso who is stitched out of patience, weight, and a stubborn fairness. Brutus Ferro trades door shaped biscuits for stories at the soup stalls. On busy market days Brutus Ferro carries a metal flower from the satellite field like a small flag, and stallkeepers nod as it passes. Brutus Ferro may not know the truth of the old world, but that never stops a good theory from becoming lunch talk.
