Adventures with Praire dogs
In 1957, in Nevada,a mound constructed by a prarie dog, was run over by a car, driven by Jimmy Keegan, and containing Tommy Shiner, Suzie and Lindy, while they were trying to goad an American military convoy, actually disguised Soviet soldiers, into a race. Later, after Indiana Jones escaped the Russians, he and Antonin Dovchenko rode out of Hangar 51 ona rocket sled, and several prarie dogs observed the sled in amazement. Jones got to see one more prarie dog, after surviving a nuclear blast in Doom Town, when the fridge he had hidden in, winded up on the plains outside, a prarie dog looked upon him in curiosity and confusion.
