| Dog can't make -

BY RUDY HAUGENEDER

Bozo, a_ two-year-old male
poxer- and -heinz cross, just

doesn’t want to live anywhere

but the Terrace SPCA,

In the past month Boze has
made seven trips to new homes
and seven times has walked
back to the SPCA kennels at
4616 Haugland.

Once, in the past month, he
walked from Usk about 15 miles
due east of Terrace.

“Every time we adopt him
out he just walks back into the
kennels like he owns the place,”
says Robert Willoughby, SPCA
inspector.

Nat only does Bozo think he
owns the place but he goes
straight to kenne] number one,
lies down and waits for dinner.

Even when Willoughby takes

Bozo out into the yard and |

leaves him unattended, Bozo
won't leave...he just plain likes
the atmosphere.

. ,.And Bozo - nicknamed. after -.
ihe storybook and TV clown-_

manages to pay for his keep. .
Every time someone wants a
dog they pick Bozo. Willoughby
says ‘“‘yipes” and goes on to tell
the prospective owner Bozo’s

Official receipts will be

The information was
received in the form of a letter

earlier this year.

background of coming back to
the kennels.

A chuckle and laugh from the
buyer and away goes Bozo,
leaving Willoughby to wonder
whether he’s gone for good this
time.

But not so, in a day or two
Bozo is back. Sometimes,
'Bozo’s new owner comes back
to reclaim him but it’s no
use¥Bozo will make it back to
the SPCA again.

After a . 72 hour pericd
without reclamation Bozo is
free to be adopted again. .

Even though the dog makes |
prospective buyers look like
‘fools, they flock to offer money
for him.

Bozo is always impounded
and the SPCA receives about 15
offers te buy him in each 72 hour
detention period.

Once the detention periéd his

expired, out goes Bozo;.only to’.

“turn himself in again.”
Willoughby, who has been

oft

with the Terrace branch abouta -*

month since his transfer from

Vancouver, says Terrace's -

animals are unique.

_ After his arrival he found that
the animals seemed to be noisy
for most of the day. Then one
morning he brought his radio to
work and noticed that the
animals quietened down
immediately after the radio
started playing.

Hard rock was in but country.
and western in out at the SPCA,
so far as the animals were
concerned. .

Willoughby brought his
record player to work and told
the Herald that the Creedence
Clearwater Rival group has the
greatest soothing effect an the
animals, particularly on dogs.

Buck Owens just starts them
howling and Willoughby doesn't
play any other country and
western music either,

But it's not all fun and games
at the kennels says Willoughby,
Heasked people to keep dogs on
a leash as required by law, He
added that it is important for
people to acquire dog Ilcenses

for their animals,
