DOG’S GOLF BALLS
FINDS IN ONE MONTH GLASGOW ANIMAL’S INSTINCT A dog belonging to Mr. R. V. Singleton, a cinema proprietor, of Burnside, near Rutherglen, Glasgow, has a record of finding 52 golf balls in a day. Mr. Singleton said that the dog is a four-year-old mongrel named Mickey, and that it had never been trained. ‘‘Mickey’s gift for finding golf balls,’’ he said, ‘‘was unsuspected until one Sunday my son took him for a scamper over the Rutherglen Corporation public golf course. Mickey began to find golf balls ?n the rough, an<! in the forenoon he got about 30. We went oirt again in the afternoon and he raised the day’s total to 52.” While the family were on holiday at Lochranza, in the island of Arran, during Julv last year, Mickey found nearly 400 golf balls during a month.
