Mrs. Jack Stroupe "Dog-Sitting"
Kings Mountain Bassett Hound
A Slielby w’oman's love for dogs
led her to adopt a stray Basset
hound in Kings Mountain Friday
and sdie’s been “dog-sitting” ever
since.
'Efforts by Mr. and Mrs. Jack
:>troupe to liH’atc the Basset's
iTwncr have been futile, Lora
I StroutK' said l uesday as she
placed a lost and found ad in
the newspaper.
'Mrs. Stroupe said she and her
husband were driving on busy U.
S. 74 wTst Friday night when
i they observed the dog by tJie
side ol the road.
““We noticed him right away
because we have a similar pet”,
I said .Mrs. Stiioupe. She said they
I continued on towaird home (Shel-
: by) but she persuaded her bus-
i band to turn around and pick up
the dog.
“1 was afraid with the dog
i quarantine on here that the
j pretty animal would be destroy-
' cd,” she adde<l.
Mrs. Stroupe .said .she put the
dog in their car and after fail
ing to locate its owner in. the
i Linw'ood area decided to take
him home with them for the
night.
The Stroupes and their little
daughter are apartment-dwellcis
and incurred another problem
w^ien they got home.
Friend Basset was very fretful
and after three baby aspirins
w\>uldn’t be quiet.
F'earful his barking ^^^^uld dis
turb the neighborhood, at 4 a.m.
Mrs. Stroupe loaded her visitor
In her car and heade<i for her
grandmother’s country home in
Morg-anton. There she dep^xsited
the new Basset wrth her owm.
IMrs. Stroupe says the “adapt
ed” Basset wears both a flea cel
lar and regular collar but shows
no identification. The dog has
been well cared for, even his t»>e-
nails have been clipped recently.
"I’d expect a neighbor to do
the same for my pet”, said .Mirs.
Stroupe.
The Basset’s own<*r may re
trieve him by calling Mrs.
Stroupe at the. Employment So-
