"TINY," ROOSEVELT
DOG, IS RECOVERED
Sheepdog, Being Kept by Admiral
Grayson, Wanders Away,
but Is Found Later.

Admiral and Mrs. Cary T. Grayson
were greatly relieved today when Tiny
the big shaggy English sheep dog, which
wandered from their home at 1925 Wis
consin avenue yesterday. was returned
to them.
Their relief was increased by the
fact this highly pedigreed pet does not
belong to them, but is the property OF
President and Mrs. Roosevelt. Tiny
was presented to the White House sew
eral weeks ago and was later turned
over to the Graysons to keep tenn
porarily.
Tiny did not wander very far. He
had been given the run of the spacious
Grayson estate and had wandered be-
yond the borders and into the grounds
of the nearby Home for Incurables. He
was taken in and cared for at that
institution, and when 1t was learned
he was missing from the Grayson home,
was quickly returned.
It was the intention OF President
and Mrs. Roosevelt when they accepted
TINY to send him to the Roosevelt farm
at Warm Springs, Ga. Before doing
so. however, he was turned over to the
Graysons, as doubt had arisen as to the
advisability of sending such heavily
coated dog to so warm climate. Until
a decision has been made as to his
future, Tiny will remain with the
GraySonS.
