Show Dog Is Rescued From 10 Days Trapped in a Cave MONTEREY, MO. Old Drive, "the best durn coon dog in southeast south-east Missouri," rested comfortably in the warm sunlight of his master's mas-ter's Ozark mountain home, regaining regain-ing the strength he lost during his 10 days imprisonment in a nearby limestone cave, and grateful to his many friends among the hill folk who worked night and day to rescue him. Drive was rescued after about 75 of Jake Light's neighbors, working by lantern and torch light, completed com-pleted blasting a hole through a 30-foot 30-foot stone wall and dragged the dog to safety. Old Drive's eyes expressed his appreciation ap-preciation as he watched Jake and his wife, Effie, tenderly nurse his swollen feet and feed him the only foods he could chew with his two remaining teeth. |
