NEIJ4F GVTWWK " Morrhrad CHy While hunting for Christmas trees today just west of Atlantic Beach on Bogue Banks, we came upon a sight that would be shock ing to any civilized human being. We had gone only just a short distance from the highway when we came upon the most pitiful sight I have ever seen in my life. There tied to a tree in a hard knot was the remains of a poor dog who obviously had been tied there to die. We examined the rope very care fully to be sure that it had been tied, and definitely it had been, i am sure there was a much easier way to dispose of the poor dog than to tic it out in the lonely woods to starve to death. The one who did this is no bet tcr than the Russians who put a dog in Sputnik II and the only thing I have to say concerning this is, they had the decency too. or at least as far as we know, to put food enough for a limited amount of time. I only hope that out there some where whoever did this horrible crime reads this article and begins to think of the many lonesome, hungry, perishing hours that poor dog went through before he died It's an experience that wUl stay with mc for as long as I five. 11c may not be punished here on earth for the crime but God will see that he is someday. I ask you, how would you like to be tied out in Ihc woods and left to die. I only hope you never have to know what it is to be hungry.
