Well, I stopped by Barnes & Noble to read Frank's piece of crap story in the new Analog. It's a short short, running only three pages of text. And the rest of it sucked just as bad as Page One. It would stand out as substandard on a fanfic site, but there it is in Analog.
Frank earns bonus woke points for emphasizing that the only cowardly dog in his story is a male.
Especially amusing was the part where the owner of "the mostly gray dog's" ancestor recognizes it as Rocket's descendant by its horribly matted fur and its bad smell. So Frank does seem aware of the fact that John is abusing the dogs.
