"Hunters in the Snow" - Tobias Wolff What's up with that?

' "I hate that dog." Kenny was behind them....Kenny fired. The bullet went in between the dog's eyes.'

     This whole scene that involves Kenny shooting a tree and then the dog was a little insane. First, why would anyone shoot a tree? My brain couldn't comprehend why someone would shoot a tree. Instantly, I thought of one of my favorite SNL skits: the What's up With That? musical skits. Here's a clip for your entertainment. The song was just running through my head the whole entire time.

     Kenny obviously was not right in the head, but like I said, that is obvious. It's Tub that needs to be worried about. Frank and Kenny seem to be his best friends, but he can't trust them. He immediately assumed that Kenny was going to shoot him. (And he probably would have, but still.)  I pity Tub because he doesn't seem to have good enough friends that he can trust not to shoot him.
