| After two-month odyssey, dog still looking for a home
BETHLEHEM — Cold, scrawny and scared, a white German shepherd wandered across at least three towns for at least six weeks before an intercommunity effort finally corralled him last week."What a story," said Morris Animal Control Officer Cynthia F. Brissett. "I couldn't understand what this dog was doing. Seemed to me he was trying to find someone, trying to find home. But no one had called me to report this dog missing."A Morris resident first called Brissett about the dog on the morning of Dec. 24. The dog was sniffing around the man's yard with tags dangling from a collar. But as many others would note over the next month-and-a-half, the moment anyone tried to approach the dog, it would run away.Brissett spotted the dog later that morning at White Flower Farm on Route 63, and another officer spotted a dog fitting its description at Black Rock State Park in Watertown on Dec.

Brown lays down the law to Wendy: 'I'm in control of debate on ...
The Paisley North MSP, who has endured two months of torment after the Sunday Herald broke the donations story, has tried to recapture the domestic agenda by backing a Constitutional Commission to increase Holyrood's powers. The idea has the backing of Labour, the Tories and the Liberal Democrats in the Scottish parliament, but is being resisted by Scottish Labour MPs at Westminster who believe Alexander is "doing the work" of the SNP. Now the Sunday Herald can reveal the prime minister's scepticism about a plan that Alexander has staked her political future on. A meeting on January 28 - attended by Brown, chancellor Alistair Darling, justice secretary Jack Straw, Scottish secretary Des Browne, and civil servant Jim Gallagher - was held to discuss the union and Scottish devolution.
