"Tiny dog, "PIP," hero!

TOWN TATTLER, January 16, 2009

"BULLETIN - Word just in to the newsroom - Minute, but powerful 8 lb Maltillion RESCUED an out of control TOBOGGAN yesterday while out for his daily stroll in Snail Point Park!
More below....
"While lifting his dainty leg against a mighty elm tree he thought he heard screaming coming from the area of "Grasshopper Hill," a popular spot in Snail Point for afternoon sledding on cold winter days.
Instantly, he sensed danger and raced over to the "Hill!"
He spotted the speeding tobaggan as it careened down the hill at break neck speed with terrified sledders holding on for dear life, screeching at the top of their lungs "HELP!! SOMEBODY HELP US."
Unfortunately, all the bystanders chose at that moment to look away and tie their shoelaces, fix their gloves, etc.
Without giving (hardly) a SINGLE thought to his own safety he plunged UP the hill - stood IN FRONT of the rampaging sled and stopped it with a single paw held high in the air!
A crowd had gathered to observe the goings on and BURST into a resounding CHEER!
Crying with tears of joy, relieved sledders ran over to Pip and hoisted him on their shoulder and walked all through the park and into the town of Snail Heights chanting PIP PIPI PIP PIPI all the while......
