Stories mentioning Forrester

The Dogs on the Ride HomeBernard rode about a mile to Coolidge Junior High School, where bicycles stood unlocked in large racks. His ride home took him past Forrester's two police dogs. Throwing lit kitchen matches failed to deter them, and avoiding them would have required crossing fences and the ravine in Ferry’s Woods. Dad confronted Forrester about the dogs biting at Bernard and tearing his pants. After Dad threatened a dangerous deterrent involving rags on car wheels, the dogs were fenced in.
