Bob, poodlo dog, is condemned to die, after fair trial in a court of law, for the crime of "bounding against a human being and knocking down said human being." All over the British Isles folks and maybe dogs, have watched the trial of Bob since It began almost a year ago. Miss Bettie Dancer, an aged school teacher of Monk's Kisborough, has carried the appeal from tho death sentence to Bucks Quarter Sessions court. She has sold her cottage and borrowed money to defend her pet. "I feel a3 though a brother were about to be hanged," says Miss Dancer. "He meant no harm when ho jumped against the man." An ancient British law makes it a "felony" for a dog to molest a human. |
