...campaigned in Maryland last week, Kennedy denied he was trying to woo away Carter delegates. Said Kennedy of Carter's aides: "I don't understand what they are so worried about."

Besides, he is a pet lover himself (he has a parakeet and a gerbil). Galvanized, he begins to notice Natalie and then to woo her with Russian vodka and folk songs, notably one about nightingales singing in the raspberry bushes. Then he manages to rescue the dog and save Natalie from marriage to a careerist cop, who obviously does not waste time on stolen dogs or singing birds...
