DIED. Arthur Haggerty, 74, former Army captain who parlayed his military credentials and tough-love tactics into a career as the go-to dog trainer for America's lite; of cancer; in West Palm Beach, Fla. A favorite of David Letterman's--Haggerty appeared on his show more than 20 times--he ran Captain Haggerty's School for Dogs, whose graduates performed on TV soaps and in 150 films and worked as bomb sniffers and emergency rescuers...
