Dogs Hobby Is Saving Lives

beaches could be dispensed with
so he takes his morning dip be-
fore most folks are up and his
afternoon swim out in the chan
mel.
This early morning habit of
Bucks once saved two lives. The
dog noticed that a man and a
woman were struggling to swim
against a heavy sea and heavy
undertow that was steadily car
rying them farther out.
But instead Of impulsively
dashing in. the smart animal
raced from the beach, found a
policeman and by his urgent
banks made the officer under
stand something was wrong.
The struggling swimmers were
brought TO shore.
Buck spends long hours walk
ing up and down the beach
studying the sea for signs Of
human beings in distress but
that doesn't distract his attcn-
ton away from little boys and
girls on shore who are doing
what they shouldn't.
The dogs sharp eye caught a
siX-ycar-old lad climbing up a
2O-foot ladder not long ago. The
voungstcr had head start So
Buck pulled his 700 pounds up
the ladder after tho lad and
shcphcrdcd The child away from
the edge Of "A roof from which he
might have fallen and seriously
injured himself.
