first in her class of Handi-Dogs.

his wife's safety when he works nights has trained his Toy Fox Terrier

a larger breed.

Terrier,amidst a group of Poodles, performing difficult feats such as
walking a high wire and jumping from a basket 20 feet in the air into
his trainer’s arms. Later, a clown roams the crowd while a small black
terrier peers out of his pocket at the spectators.
- In rural Kansas a farmer decides that his wife’s“housebaby”,

hill country folks refer to as feists, prove indefatigable in
treeing squirrels and jumping rabbits.
