4 very satisfied dogs noted sleeping under the bushes. Scientist arrived on schedule. Best we could show the scientist was a pile of feathers. You can imagine his dismay, but he seemed very understanding. I guess he was not as understanding as we thought.
Word comes down from District office.
Dogs found guilty, evidence was prima facie and overwhelming. Sentenced to pay the ultimate price. Urgent appeals made to commute sentence. Happy ending, a departing shipmate adopted them.
