APPROACH OF AUTOMOBILE
AID TO FREEING LUCKLESS DOG

Canine Caught by Hind Foot in Barbwire
Fence as He was Going Through

       While automobiles have killed thousands of dogs, one dog probably owes his life, or at least escape from much suffering, to an automobile.
       It was Sunday afternoon while an automobile party was out driving along one of the many attractive dry weather biways that surround Marlin.  They heard the agonizing yelps of a canine ahead and to the right of the road.  Coming closer, they discovered that a dog had fastened a hind leg in a barbwire fence, evidently as he attempted to jump between the wires, or climb the fence, fence. (sic).
       The owner of the dog was located, emerging from a thicket, and after some difficulty succeeded in extricating the dog from its predicament.
