Some of your best friends
are in jail. That is, if a dog is
man’s best friend.
The local dog pound, located
one mile east of town at the
city disposal plant is like a
jail. It offers confinement and
in many cases—death.
Poundmaster, Cloyce Lewal-
len hates to dispose of a dog,
but its part of his job and it
has to be done. Lewallen tries
to find homes for his tenants
and manages to locate quart-
ers for several each week, but
its an impossible job to place
all the canines when 15 to 20
dogs weekly are deposited.
Like our society, some of the
dogs are good, some are bad.

cept responsibility for the ani-

are old and sick, a few are

Chickasha has a city ordi-
