A Little Hero
About A Little Hero
Mabel leaves a canary, a cat, and a small dog at home. The cat goes after the bird. The dog, too small to stop the cat, runs to a kennel and brings back three collies. They get in through a basement window and save the canary. The cat runs, and a chase follows. Mabel comes home, sees the wrecked cage, and hugs the little dog.
