Cross Dog Will Be
Psychoanalyzed
__ •
LOS ANGELES, <A>)—The fate
of Congo, a Great Dane dog that
attacked his mistress two weeks
ago, will be decided by psycho
analysis.
The 180-pound animal will be
turned over to Larry Trimble, dog
trainer and authority on problem
pooches. The county department
of animal regulations planned to
destroy Congo as an ill-tempered
and unsafe pet after he severly
bit his owner, Mrs. Frances Mc
Dermott.
But letters and telegrams began
pouring in protesting Congo’s
death sentence. So the department
decided to try the psycho treat
ment. Mrs. McDermott agreed to
the plan.
