SKIES ARE NOT SO HIGH
By WILLIAM D ELLIS
ABOUT THE AUTHOR 
William D. Ellis was born in Concord, 
Massachusetts. He began writing at the age of 
12, at the urging of an elementary school 
teacher who early on discerned his talent . 
Ellis’s study of the history of Ohio provided 
him material that he eventually used as the 
foundation for a trilogy of novels : Bounty 
Lands, Jonathan Blair : Bounty Lands Lawyer, 
and The Brooks Legend. Each of his novel 
appeared on best-seller lists, and the trilogy 
itself eventually earned its author a Pulitzer 
Prize nomination. The most important 
recurring theme in his works is the triumph 
of survival.
This is the story of the dog named Duke and how he nursed 
his master Charles Chuck Hooper. Charles Hooper , a six-foot- 
one man, was a man of competitive nature. He was 
already a hard-charging zone sales manager of a chemical 
company. He was enjoying a successful life.
ABOUT THE DOG DUKE 
Doberman Pinscher 
Duke was a rough playing Doberman Pinscher , four years 
old , 23 kilos. His coat was red with a light brown vest.
CHARLES MET WITH AN ACCIDENT 
When he was driving home one autumn twilight, a car pulled out in front of 
him without warning. Hooper was taken to the hospital with a subdural 
haemorrhage in the motor section of the brain, completely paralysing his left 
side. One of Chuck’s district manager drove his wife Marcy to the hospital. 
Charles could only breathe and see, and his vision was double.
CHARLES AFTER THE HOSPITAL STAY 
Hooper remained critical for a month. The company asked him to take a year 
off. They would create a desk job for him at the company headquarters. He 
was put in a wheel chair. Chuck Hooper was given physiotherapy but he 
didn’t show much progress. While at home chuck felt very low when his wife 
Marcy quietly went work.
DUKE ARRIVES HOME 
Their dog duke was brought home. Chuck said that he 
wanted to be standing when duke came in. He men him 
stood him up. When duke came he charged into a missile 
of joy by springing on his master Chuck Hooper. Hooper 
could hardily keep his balance from that movement duke 
took up his position near Chuck's bed and never jumped 
on him.
CHUCK AND DUKE 
Chuck could not feel cheered up even after Duke’s 
arrival. Marcy felt it and cried at Chuck’s predicament. 
He continued looking all around at ceiling, outside 
and then at Duke. But Duke could not take it for long. 
He would go to Chuck and look at him posing many 
question . But Chuck asked him to just sit there.
CHUCK TIES TO STAND UP EGGED 
BY DUKE 
One evening Chuck hooked the leash onto Duke’s collar with his good hand. 
Duke moved u-shaped and pranced imbalancing Chuck. Chuck fought for 
balance. He placed the leash in his left hand with his good hand and folded 
the paralyzed finger over it. Then he leaned forward with Marcy supporting 
him by the elbow, he moved his right leg out in front.
CHUCK COLLAPSES IN THE 
ARMCHAIR 
When he straightened his right leg his left foot 
dragged forward with his right foot. It could be called 
a step. Duke feeling the sudden slack, pulled the leash 
taut. Chuck controlled himself from falling and 
straightened up. But he collapsed into the wheelchair.
CHUCK TAKES FOUR STEPS 
Next day the Duke started early, jabbed his nose under 
Chuck’s elbow charging to his good side. Chuck’s arm 
reached for the leash and he stood up with Duke’s 
tugging the leash, Chuck took four steps that day.
CHUCK REACHES THE FRONT 
PORCH ON HIS OWN 
Leaning back against the pull , Chuck learned to keep his 
balance without Marcy to support him. Taking steps and 
increasing them day by day, they reached the front porch.
CHUCK TREMENDOUS PROGRESS 
TO BE ON HIS OWN 
By mid April neighbours saw a daily struggle of Chuck 
and Duke pull his leash , stand and wait . Chuck would 
drag himself abreast of the dog. Then Duke would 
walk upto the end of the leash and wait for Chuck. 
Very soon Chuck was able to walk. When Marcy told 
the doctor about Chuck’s progress , he prescribed a 
course of physiotherapy with weights , pulleys and 
whirlpool baths. Soon Duke and Chuck would make 
two trips a day .Duke would no longer wait for Chuck 
at each step.
CHUCK READY TO WORK 
On January 4, Chuck walked 200 meters from the clinic to 
his company’s local branch office. The staff was amazed at 
Chuck’s progress. The manager asked Chuck to be on work. 
Chuck demanded an empty desk and a dictating machine. 
He set his objective of working full day on March 1.
DUKE AS A REAL HUMAN SUPPORTER 
AND CHUCK’S PROMOTION 
After March 1 Chuck didn’t need physiotherapy. He turned to 
Duke who pulled him along the street increasing his stability and 
endurance . Sometimes Chuck would trip and fall but Duke 
would wait for him as if he knew that his job was to take care of 
his master. Thirteen months after this moment, Chuck was 
promoted to regional manager.
CHUCK, DUKE AND MARCY IN NEW 
HOME 
In March 1956 Chuck, Marcy and Duke moved to their 
new house. The neighbours didn’t know the story of 
Duke and Chuck. All they knew was that Chuck 
walked like a mechanical giant and the dog pulled him 
as if he owned him.
DUKE DIES 
On the evening of October 12,1957, Duke had had an accident. Marcy 
took up Duke to the animal hospital . He was attended properly but 
died as his injuries were very severe. Chuck’s neighbour saw Chuck 
walk alone. They wondered if Chuck would go alone and how far.
A TRIBUTE TO DUKE THROUGH 
CHUCK 
A few week ago Chuck received an order from his 
company as if a special tribute to Duke. Chuck stood 
appointed as Assistant National Sales manager of his 
company.
