The Police Find the Dog
Forty-eight hours had elapsed before the police work and publicity
paid off. By meticulously checking the registration of every red
station wagon in the neighborhood and cross-checking the dog licenses, 
the police narrowed the search to four owners. After a few phone calls,
the apologetic owner was located and directed to bring her muzzled
German shepherd to Hart's domicile. Bobby identified the dog, and the
animal was taken to a veterinary's clinic to have the necessary tests
performed. The lax owner, Mrs. McCraw admitted that the dog has a 
sporadic mean streak, but she scoffed at the idea of rabies. Mr. Hart
noticed for the first time in two days his uneasy feelings had 
departed.
