Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

You see it was this way. The dog saw the cat and chased it. The cat naturally ran. It sought refuge between a blacksmith shop and a private dwelling on Washington street and there it stuck. The dog pursued and it stuck between the walls also. A crowd gathered, clothes poles and broom sticks were brought. But the cat and dog could not be budged.
The whole truth of the matter is that this morning a dog belonging to a bakery wagon driver chased an errant cat which ran between two buildings and there the two animals stuck, wedged tightly between the two walls and unable to budge, for most of the morning.
Both the cat and dog are bald on both sides from their efforts to pry the building apart.
Finally the cat got loose and later the dog, a big yellow animal had to be shot to end its misery.
