I think that Prudence would definitely have broken her leg or dislocated her hip if no-one had been around to help her. As it was, my sister had a devil of a time even locating the gym bag handle on her body- it is jet black and so is Prudence! I also heard a story one day (from one of my Grade Four students) that she went home one day to find that one of her kittens had stuck her head into a hole in a hockey net and had almost strangled herself! Luckily, the child discovered the situation in time to extricate the kitten and save her life.
