Show Spaniel Keeps Lonely Vigil By River; Master Is Missing RED WING, MINN. In a tumbledown tumble-down shanty on Wisconsin island, in the headwaters of the Mississippi river, sits a little dog keeping a cold and. lonely vigil. Rascal, a cocker spaniel, is waiting wait-ing for the return of his master, fisherman George Brenn, whose body is believed submerged somewhere in the icy river. Police believe Brenn broke through the thin ice while walking over the frozen sloughs surrounding the island, is-land, which lies between Mud lake and the Mississippi river. When they broke into Brenn's shanty, authorities found his dog locked inside. Rascal had gnawed part way through the door in an attempt at-tempt to escape. He had lived on cereals and pancake flour torn from packages on the shelves. When police put Rascal into a boat and started back to Red Wing, the dog jumped from the boat and swam back to the shanty. |
