COLLIE FETCHES A SHOCKING SURPRISEHEREFORD, England -- A collie who had chased a stick thrown by her owner, came back with a live grenade in her mouth.Shadow found the explosive device on a riverbank beside the River Wye in Hereford, England. Gordon Husband eased the device from his dog's mouth before carrying it gently 1½ miles to his home. He called Army bomb experts who arrived to blow up the grenade. "I knew what it was because I'd seen them during my national service," said Husband, "but I thought it might have been a training grenade and not live. I was quite surprised by the bang it made." "Shadow is always coming back from the river with stuff — but usually just rubber balls." |
