SPEAKING OF PEOPLE who live in Irving, if you're one of those who think the rush-hour motorists on Highway 183 are the most inconsiderate people in the world you shoulda been there last week. About 7:30 one morning, forlorn-looklrig dog (apparently a stray and belonging to no one) was caught on the median strip and was trying to cross ttie highway.

So, these so-called "inconsiderate motor-maniacs" who had stopped to let the dog cross highway, began opening their car doors in an attempt to get dog in their car. One man succeeded in doing this, then was able to work his way to the otter side of highway and let the dog out to continue on his merry way.
