ROBERT REDFORD

"HOLLYWOOD STAR SEEKS NEW AGENT": FHS is all abuzz this week. A famous celebrity, ROBERT REDFORD, is at here. He is a 7 1/2 yr. old shepherd/chow that is already neutered. Robert finds cats a nuisance and will not share a home with any of

them no matter how many Oscars they have won! Another equally

distinguished dog of similar size is fine, but being a star, he would prefer to be the main attraction. He is very

good at tennis and will play with a ball while you are running his errands.

Come and see him today!
