. - In Harlan, Ky., children in the second grade of a local .
school enjoyed an unexpected vacation because a mother
dog decided to raise her pups beneath the floor of the
school. The pups whined, the mother barked, and the
dog warden chopped holes in the floor. This caused a draft,
so the teacher dismissed the class until further notice.
