Anyone who's had a pet knows how quickly they become an important member of the family. And for Marie Wristen of Santa Anna, that's the way she feels about her dachshund, Rusty, that she has had for more than eight years. But Rusty has disappeared, and she is frantically trying to find him. Mrs. Wristen is temporarily staying in Temple while her husband convalesces in the Olin E. Teague Veterans' Center following gall bladder and cancer surgeries. by Larry Hutchinson
