Dogs Starve In Pound

What may have been intended as
kindness to a stray little female
dog turned into a gross unkindness
at Ottawa, Sheriff Arnold Potts of
Putnam county revealed.
He was called to the fairgrounds
by a dog lover who explained that
there were some dogs starving to
death inside the locked dog pound on
the grounds. His investigation re-
vealed that someone had pried open
a rear door of the pound far enough
to let little dog in and then shut
the door.
The dog was lying in the pound
surrounded by a litter of pups. Two
of them were dead and three others
were so weak they hardly could
whine for food.
