Gets Another One
From Mongrel

VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. 8.
Bob, a particularly well-bred
Airedale dog owned by Tom

deep.
Bob was in an encounter with
a bulldog recently and lost the

His owner feared that the
unauthorized amputation would
impair the value of his canine
friend, so, obtaining a ordinary

ficient anesthetic to put him
into the canine heaven and Bob
woke up with a new nose.
