THREE HEROES IN THE FAMILY
Heroism evidently runs in families, even in the dog world. A dog named Tina, whose master keeps a fruit shop in Soho, attracted the attention of a policeman passing the shop the other day by whining, and when the officer looked round to see what was wrong he noticed smoke coining from the basement and called the • fire brigade. When the firemen arrived, Tina persuaded them to follow her to the back of the shop, where four kittens were mewing in a box, abandoned by their mother, and the faithful animal refused to leave until the fireman had rescued them. Tina's sister was awarded a medal a year ago for saving a family in Titchfield Street by giving the alarm, and history relates still another adventure of this doggy family, for Tina's mother once tackled a burglar, keeping him at bay until he was arrested.
