Someone else fixed a beady and covetous eye on Warily Gang Leader, champion wire-haired fox terrier, kennel mate and spouse to parexcellent Talavera Margaret. While the dog was being shown by her owner, this individual crept to the box wherein Warily Gang Leader was chained, before which a sentry should have been posted. Presumably, then, he put Warily Gang Leader warily under his coat, deposited him in a sack, then put the sack...
