HAWAI‘I ISLAND MIDWEEK 11 ANSWER TO TODAY’S PUZZLE
Night Of The Attacking Poodles, Their Master
On Oct. 29, as Kathrin Burleson and a friend walked Burleson’s 13-year-old corgi, Emma, at Trinidad State Beach
in California, a pack of 10 standard poodles burst from a nearby car and raced toward them, the Mad River Union reported. Burleson leaned down to pick up Emma, but she wriggled out of Burleson’s arms just as the pack attacked.

“I thought Emma and I were going to be killed,” Burleson said.
To make things even weirder, during the in- cident, Burleson felt her finger being bitten, but when she looked up, it was the poodles’ owner, Frank Mallatt, who had her finger in his mouth. Mallatt later told her he thought he was biting one of his dogs. Emma was severely injured and underwent emergency surgery, from which she is still healing.

The live feed continued at the purchaser’s home, where officers caught up with the loot; the purchaser told them where they could find Frazier, and Frazier confessed to the larceny.

The storms caused unprecedented beach erosion. An archaeological team from the state is expected to visit soon to study the object.

Brenda and Dennis Delgado first met by chance in August 2021, in the condiments aisle at Fry’s, a grocery in Casa Grande, Ari- zona. Dennis told Brenda a joke, she laughed, and they talked for 30 minutes before ex- changing their contact info, News12-TV re- ported.
