In Chicago on June 6 a nameless yellow mongrel perched 200 feet above ground in a stone quarry was shot by Patrolman Edward Bezarek to end its torture amid a crowd of police, firemen, humane workers and onlookers. Rescue attempts failed as no safe ascent could reach the ledge. The dog remained watchful as meat dangled, and a first shot toppled it into a 40 foot pool well below the quarry rim.
