    In  A Christmas Memory, by Truman Capote, an autiobiographical account of an event in his childhood, features the 7 year old Buddy, who is the author and his elderly cousin, who he never names, but calls Friend in the story.

    The story relates the events of an annual tradition of making fruitcakes with his cousin while he lived with his mother's family in Alabama in the 1930s during the Depression.

    Buddy is the main character, Friend (Cousin), a dog, Queenie, a white and orange Rat Terrier. 

    The other members of the household are not named. 

    Buddy and Friend visit Mr. HaHa Jones to purchase whiskey to put in the fruitcakes.
