town from Pelican by Ralph Reischl
who had caught it at the rear Of
his home Reischl said that "Pokey, "
The otter, is about three months old
and lives up to his name Hes into
everything all Of the time" said
Reischl.
Hes about three months old as
far as I can judge" continued
Reischl. "Pokey is more affectionate
than a dog and plays with ours
and any other dog he can make
friends with. He'll leave me to play
with a child every time Pokey lives
on fish"
The otter is about a foot and a
half long with tail almost as long
as he is. Very short legs doesn't give
him much clearance. The dark
brown coat is as soft as down.
His grand children tried to get
Reischl to take the otter to the
local school so that other children
could see Pdkey but Reischl stated
he's not quite used to so many
people. Dave Reischl is his Son and
operates the mail boat Yakobi.
