She outwits him, however, dumps him into his swimming pool, and runs away?a long, long...
...from unfriendly Dobermans and Great Danes and overly friendly Shih Tzus and Lhasa Apsos. He cannot protect her from the law, however. In Central Park last week, a policeman came up and ordered Bob Weatherwax, the son of her famous trainer, Rudd, to put her on a leash. "This dog never wears a leash," protested Weatherwax. "This is Lassie!" Responded the cop: "Right, and I'm the King of Siam. Now get a leash, or I'll have to arrest...
