Several women who saw the car
bearing down on the cute" little POO

and swung her poodle into the air
and out Of the path of the oncoming
car. And the women who shrieked
when they thought the poodle was go
Ing to be killed, let the expression OF
horror on their faces turn into smiles
OF admiration for the woman who
didn't lose her head and who made q
