Text from newspaper caption: “Wiggles,” a trained shephard [sic] and ex-trouper, not only is an enemy of purse-snatchers, but also is a great protection to children of San Fernando, who are the victims of reckless drivers. Above photo shows him rushing Betty Lou Turner from the path of one who made a right turn. “Wiggles” knows more than forty tricks. Mrs. Jessie Erwin, his owner, can’t convince him that he is now officially “retired”.
