Poodle Gives Sheriff Chase Spends Week in Jug VINAL HAVEN, Me. - (By Dutton Service) - The summer colony here was treated to an exciting afternoon when Margaret Wise Brown's black poodle, in the midst of his favorite exercise-chasing sheep into the sea-was interrupted by the Sheriff, armed with a butterfly net and a lasso. Black Poodle put up a first-class chase, but the Sheriff, himself, quite out of breath, finally manoeuvred him into the ocean-and the jug.

Interviewed today by a Dutton reporter, Black Poodle complained vociferously. He said he had to sleep with a cat. He had to eat lettuce and grass like a rabbit. The big dogs swiped his bones, he charged, and there was a fish in the tub when they gave him a bath.

In a few days, it was learned from reliable sources, Black Poodle will be released on probation. When given this information by your reporter he was quite elated but refused to further discuss his relationship with sheep and Sheriff. It is believed that he has learned his lesson.

Margaret Wise Brown informs us that she has told the story of his waywardness and reform in The Poodle and the Sheep, which E. P. Dutton & Company publish. Black Poodle's book is illustrated by Leonard Weisgard. It sells for $1.50 a copy.
