P. N. Webster Of Fort Collins has a
setter that had even better luck than
he did on one Of their trips recently.
The pit on the shore of the lake where
Webster decided to shoot was not big
enough to conceal both himself and
the dog, so the dog received instruc-
tons to remain at the automobile un-
til wanted. Webster failed to get any
ducks and returned to the car to 20
home. The dog, who was sitting In the
back seat, nudged Webster In the ribs
as he was preparing to start the car.
When Webster turned around the dog
showed him duck he had caught and
brought to the car. The duck, which
was still alive, had had wing broken
near the tip and couldn't fly well.
