Man Sales his Daughter

Police have arrested a Greenfield man for allegedly arranging to sell his 14-year-old daughter into marriage in exchange for $16,000, 100 cases of beer and several cases of meat.

Police said they only learned of the deal after the 36-year-old man went to them to get his daughter back because payment wasn't made as promised. The man was arrested Sunday on suspicion of human trafficking.

Dog Story

I was at my Adam's 5th birthday party at the local park. Adam is my master's son. While we were at the park, all the humans were enjoying their sweet treats, when I noticed a pack of strays hanging around some nearby bushes. It was obvious they were up to no good by the look in their eyes. I barked several times to let them know that they had better keep their distance, or else. My master didn't like my barking, apparently he didn't see the strays, he chained me to a nearby tree. It wasn't long after my chaining the strays attacked. They went to to strikes, one group went for the cake and cookies, they were simply a decoy. The other group went after Adam, the strays had a grudge against my master for some reason. I pulled as hard as I could and was finally able to break the chains that held me to pathetic tree I was chained to. I chased down the group of strays that had kidnapped Adam. I chased them to a dead end alley. They turned, ready for a fight to a death. It was three on one, I didn't care for my chances. I attacked first going for the smallest of the three. I latched on to his throat and jerked with all my might. I heard him squeel and go limp in my clasp. The other two came at my flanks and bit and clawed my ribs and legs. I kicked the one to my left away and turned to face the leader who had came at my right. I went in and bit at his nose and ears; he gashed my eye with his front paw which hindered my vision. Now my back was to the wall and the two strays were about to pounce; this was going to be my last stand, I needed a miracle. When from the end of the alley I heard my masters voice call "Adam.....Rex". He had a wooden baseball bat in his hand and a look of rage in his eye. After the strays ran off my master carried Adam back to his vehicle and even let me sit shotgun.
