Based on The Bar Sinister, a famous dog story by Richard Harding Davis, it is in fact as nice to have around as any bright young pup, and though it officially belongs to children, their parents will undoubtedly be giving it a run when the young ones are in bed. The hero of this waggish tale is a pit bull, called Wildfire in the film as in the life, who looks like a mournfully overgrown white mouse, and will certainly win all hearts...

...Harris' uphill fight to unseat Democratic Congressman Byron Rogers. "Ladies," said Mamie, "I hope you'll all vote for her. We women have to have a voice in things." The home movie cameras ground away, and people with Brownies worked furiously while Mamie met a dachshund pup named Ike, told him: "Why hello, Ike, I'll tell Ike I saw you today." She shook more hands and gave more autographs in a big, scrawling hand. When she climbed into her limousine, she was still clutching her doughnut. A thoroughly captivated crowd watched her wave...
