From Mrs Carol Nickerson, who works at the Veterinary Club, comes this picture of 'Dale' (an Australian Terrier), a Kiwi, which had been caught in a gin trap, and 'Therese' (a Burmese pedigree kitten), making all friendly-like in the Vet. Club grounds. The Kiwi was kept at the club for ten days, by which time he was fit enough to return to the bush, having lived luxuriously on a delicious diet of worms. The kitten and dog still write to their bush friend!
