Mary Mayle hugs her cousin Phillip Singer as they embrace after not seeing each other for a couple months. Mary’s pit bull bit Phillip after he walked into the Mayle’s house unannounced a short time before. "Hell, he bit me before and he will bite me again," Phillip said jokingly. Mary lives in Chester Hill, another town with strong ties to Phillip’s town of Kilvert, and also has a large Black community. “Well I love ya,” Mary said as blood slowly drips down his hands.
