Last week a local resident called Chief McCarty
about a dog under the porch at their house. The Chief went to the scene and
found not one dog but a whole family. The mother and seven puppies. As the
chief was late for a meeting at the court house he stopped off at the municipal
building and told “Bub” Wagnitz and Nic Mertes about the family. The two gents
immediately hopped into a car and went to the family’s abode. The mother dog
seemed to know the boys were there to help her and allowed them to load the
puppies into their car and then she jumped in. A bottle of milk here and there
the self-appointed rescuers began their duties. The chief, for the time being,
said he had placed her on the mothers’ pension fund until the owner can be
found.
