TO SAVE A DOG
It was a cold December day when someone saw a dog struggling in a mudbank of the 'Hiver Avon at Kedcliffe, near Bristol. Then a young man named Edwin ; Prat ten came along with a rope and asked the bystanders, to lower him over the mudbank. They implored him not to risk his fcfe for a dog. There could hardly be a more horrible end than suffocation in the mud. The young man agreed; that was why he could not leave the dog to it. In the end they had to help him. He managed to save the dog and himself. The other day the Lord Mayor of Bristol presented him with a medal,of the National Canine Defence League for the rescue. It is the fourth time he has saved a dog from the River Avon. -■ i
