Scent of Freedom. In St. Petersburg, Fla., police finally caught up with Escaped Convicts Elmer Duke and Daniel McKenzie, who had taken the prison bloodhound with them when they fled...

The judge's vote made Wilber the first toy dog ever to win the high award. He may have looked like a useless household ornament, but to his owner, Long Island Dog Breeder Bertha Smith, he is a practical animal...
