THE SEARCH FOR THE DOC (CONTINUED)

Meanwhile, the Harts had notified the local radio stations to broadcast a poignant appeal for the dog’s owner to come forward.

The station was inundated with phone calls but all leads were fruitless. From what Bobby had told them, a huge dog had leaped out from a red station wagon in the supermarket’s parking lot. After biting Bobby it vanished.

The six-year-old was too concerned with the bites he had received to see where the dog disappeared to.

The boy’s story was garbled, but he did remember that the animal was gray and had a collar.

There was little tangible evidence to go on, but the police remained sanguine.
