Hello..this is my first post at SKMB

I just wanted to post a thread about one of my favorite characters from The Stand. I have seen the mini series several times since I was very young but I just finished reading the book today (loved it). In the series Kojak came along with Glen and Stu while in the book he was left behind. I was a little disappointed and confused until Kojak shows up in Boulder all battered and beat to ****. At that point in the story SK describes Kojak's amazing journey and coolest of all his standoff with the wolves at Mother Abigail's. I got a tad bit emotional several times during the last 1/3 of the book but never so much as when

Kojak stayed behind to help Stu with his broken leg. The plague killed off man and mans best friend but just like the rest of the survivors Kojak was spared in order to serve God's purpose. I hope when Stu, Tom, and Kojak got back to Boulder that Kojak was greeted warmly by his lady dog friend.
