Dog Returns Home 150 Miles; Gone for Months The instineCof a pigeon to find its homo, no matter how many miles it has been removed, has nothing on the ability of a police dog owned a yen ago by Frank Mack, of 16 N. West ureet,.Wauktnran, it was learned last week when it was reported that their pet, which they gave away, had trav- 01ml 150 miles or more to grt home, ways a Waukegan piper. The animal had been given to a family in Horicon. Wis., which is clogs to Oshkosh. and as far as can be learned it remained there month after month with appars-nt satisfaction. Last week, however, neighbors no- ticed the big fellow with his springy step prancing through the yards on the way to the Mack home. As soon as the dog spotted his old home his step quickened Ind he made a final rush for his objective. Horicon is close to 150 miles from Waukegan, so it is believed that the animal must have traveled a trifU more than this distance. Thursday, Aug. 21, 1930
