Who's in charge here anyway?

Red Dead Redemption HoC Journal entry #1

I guess they must have heard about my stagecoach issue. As I otherwise have difficulty explaining this early mission.

Yes: The dog is in charge. Thanks for asking.

So very early on I was assigned a mission at the MacFarlane's Ranch where I was helping out Bonnie.

It was a guard mission. With very simple instructions.

"Follow the dog."

Wait? The dog's in charge? Dammit, that entire stagecoach thing wasn't my fault!
