Branch Moore oi Charlie Randall hear aspersions on the gentility of their devoted helpmate. On West King Street in Kin ston where the two well-known veterinarians practice their pro fession “Lady” is as well known as any other worker on the block. Her job .is unique ito say the least, but to her it is just another way of earning a living. "Lady*’ is the official blood donor, the walking-blood-bank for local dogs who are in need of fotra blood after operations, injuries or touts with anemia. When a hlue-blood canine suf ferer comes to the operating tables of the Drs. Randall and Moore and there is need for ad ditional blood in those blue blooded veins of Madame’a Pe kinese, “Lady” is called and with hardly a yawn from her friend ly countenance she submits to a most women, has towards autd to to awed monsters. There apparently Is a soft spot in the pavement of King Street in front or the place she works and between “patients” she will sally forth for a nap on lire street in spite of the hundreds of cars that flit past. “Lady” has no , pedigree but she is one of the community’s * kiving attention jyid the best food that the doctors can obtain for her none-too delicate appe tite, It might be added that she is usually the first “staff member" of the local pet hospital to re port for work. She keeps long hours but her work, apparently, Is not too streriuous since she seems devoted to it and is never absent without official leave.
