A. dog story If anyone needs more evidence that a dog is indeed man's best friend, here it is. ° One evening last week a neighbor noticed a dog whining and hanging around outside •a nearby service station. The dog scratched and cried for over an hour. When the neighbor went outside the dog approached her, as if to ask her for help. After checking -with the service station, who said the dog didn't belong there, the neighbor called police to tell them that the dog seemed to be left outside alone and suggest that they check with the dog's cwner, an elderly man who lives alone nearby. When Seaforth Police tele- phoned the man's home, he answered and asked them for help. When the police arrived at the home, they found him ill and lying on the floor. After the police arrived, the elderly man was taken to Scaforth Community Hospital by -ambu- lance, Our reporter doesn't know if the man sent his dog out for help or if the dog, sensing hat something was wrong, went out to alert the neighbors on his own. However, according to our information, the dog helped to save his master's life. �:•, ...-••.�-�v�-rte•......,... �;, The directors for one year are: Edgar Allan.
