NEW YORK. - Happy in his Brooklyn home when a neighbor gave him a brown-and-white puppy named "Teddy," 14-year-old Danny Ryan was not to be happy very long.
Trouble struck. A neighboring child pushed Teddy off a porch and after that the pup's hind legs refused to work.
Danny's widowed mother delivered an ultimatum. "You'll have to get rid of him," she ordered. "There's nobody at home during the day to take care of him."
Danny had a tough decision to make, for it might mean the gas chamber for Teddy if he decided wrong.
The boy made his decision. He took a can of soap, a can of vegetables, his Scout pack, his tent and two blankets. Then, holding Teddy to his chest, he left home without saying good-by.
Patrolman Rudolph Hrasdzera found Danny early the next morning, crouched near an open fire in lonely, windswept Palisades park.
Danny said he didn't know where he was going but that he and Teddy couldn't go home. Not ever.
The policeman took them to see a veterinarian at near-by Closter, N.J. The animal doctor said Teddy wouldn't have to be done away with-that medicine and exercise would fix his legs.
Then Hrasdzera telephoned Danny's mother. She cried and asked how soon they could get there-both of them.
Danny and Teddy got home the next night. They plan to stay-both of them.
