The Alberton Papers
Vol. 2, #5 By Dick Darne 7-4-06
There are at least five hundred doggie stories in Alberton.
This is one of them.
In my role as an investigative reporter, I have interviewed some of the participants and verified the facts. First, lets identify the main characters: 1) "boom-boom", a black Pomeranian, residing at Ms. Petersen’s. 2) "wylie", a black pomeranian, residing at Ms. Brovold’s. Other characters will remain unnamed.
Ms. Petersen leaves for a few days, leaving "boom-boom" in good hands, but no one else knows this. Ms. Brovold lets "wylie" outside. Someone sees what appears to be "boom-boom", and escorts him home. A neighbor sees "poor boom-boom" and after taking him for a ride and probably a doggie treat (not verified), takes him home and puts him inside with food and water. Meanwhile, Ms. Brovold is wondering where "wylie" is. Ms. Petersen’s "house-checker finds that "boom-boom" who usually growls at him, is now very friendly. Ms Brovold becomes more worried. Soon the citizens of Alberton, who are all above average in intelligence, figure out what is going on, and "wylie" is reunited with his owner and everyone lived happily ever after. After all , "doggie mis identification" has happened before, although not always happily. Ask old "prince", after being tried sans "corpus delicti", and being branded a doggie convict, he was arrested and in custody while still at home. (True story)
Point being, two pomeranians who looked alike, two golden- retreiver-look alikes,and however-many black lab look alikes , ad- nausem; the tattle tale method of animal control is not reliable. A more workable solution has been in place for many years. If your neighbor’s dog offends you, get a witness and/or a picture and sign the complaint yourself. Justice will be served in court with less chance of "doggie misidentification".
This actually was two doggie stories. I have to go now, I have to investigate a report of a vital cog in the health, safety and welfare department locking the keys in a running vehicle. Just a rumor at this point. I treat all sources as confidential. dd
