Problem Of Dog's Attachment To Postman Solved
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Robbie, a tan cocker spaniel, gave the postman a lot of trouble not in the usual way but with a display of devotion.
"He took up with me the first day I was on the route last June," said postman James Morris of suburban St. Ann. "and from then on trailed me all over the route and any other place I went, I couldn't get rid of him."
The owners, Mr. and Mrs. George Blammer, tried keeping the dog locked up in the back yard. But he put up such a howl every time Morris passed that the Blammers could find only one solution to the problem.
They gave the dog to the postman.
