A reporter for a Boston newspaper, who was strolling by, saw the incident and rushed over to interview the boy. "YOUNG BRUINS FAN SAVES FRIEND FROM VICIOUS ANIMAL," he started writing in his notebook.
"But I'm not a Bruins fan," the little hero replied.
"Sorry, since we are in Boston, I just assumed you were," said the reporter and started again. "RED SOX FAN RESCUES FRIEND FROM HORRIFIC ATTACK" he continued writing in his notebook.
"I'm not a Red Sox fan either," the boy said.
"I assumed everyone in Boston was either for the Bruins or Red Sox. What team do you root for?" the reporter asked.
"I'm a Yankees fan," the child said.
The reporter started a new sheet in his notebook and wrote: "BERSERK NEW YORKER KILLS BELOVED FAMILY PET."
Two boys were playing hockey on a pond on Boston Common when one was attacked by a vicious, rabid dog. Thinking quickly, the other boy took his stick, wedged it down the dog's collar and with a twist, broke the dog's neck, saving his friend from almost certain serious injury.
