Original Toronto Star caption: A sad-looking stray was picked up yesterday by John MacArthur; a driver-agent for the Toronto Humane Society; and taken to the society shelter on Wellesley St. People interfering is the worst problem; a fellow dogcatcher says; mentioning one agent who was bitten; not by a dog but by its would-be rescuers.
