Well through careful listening Buck was able to discern that many years ago in a land called Ireland a terrible thing happened. The potato crop went black and since most potatoes grown there were of the very same variety the country as a whole suffered. Mass crops which were a staple of the Irish diet failed. A great famine set in and the peope of that land were forced to travel to other places to find food sources. Lots of these Irish people had 'O's at the start of their name like the U.S. president Obama but some changed their names to hide where they came from as they were not always welcome in the new land. The people of the new lands saw the irish immigrants as diseased and poor and a strain to their economy and it was a tough life for Irish immigrants. The thing is, this famine sent the people of Ireland throughout the globe and now the Irish gene runs throughout many countries. Even those who aren't Irish celebrate them and St. Patrick's Day is the day to do this. Irish traditions are enjoyed and green beer flows throughout many lands. Buck was thrilled to head out on his very first St. Paddy's Day celebration.
Buck discovered that he really enjoyed the green beer...
But a friendly police office warned Buck to take it easy..
and it was NOT necessary to use the cuffs after all. Buck learned that fun is fun but it is important to drink responsibly even if you're pretending that you're irish. Happy St. Paddys day everyone !
