JUNKER NEARS END OF 10TH YEAR OF SERVICE: Miss Ruth Hoefer, 309 Koch Ave., and her "Master's Eye" guide dog, Junker (above), have had nearly 10 years of constant companionship and mutual inter-dependence since his blind mistress obtained the dog from the La Salle Kennels in Minneapolis. Junker guides Miss Hoefer through crowded streets and lies on the floor near her side while she sews or sleeps. The dog, a purebred German Shepherd, is getting old now and has slowed down his mistress' walks to a great extent but she says "I could never give him up while he's living and I don't know how I'll get along after he goes."
