A STRAY dog is getting credit for thwarting a prison break in Paraguay. Officials say three dangerous inmates dug a tunnel about 8 meters from their cell to the street, and were about to break free just before dawn when the dog began to bark and alerted a guard.
Authorities at the Tacumbu prison on the southern edge of Asunción, the capital, dragged the unlucky prisoners before the media on Friday to tell the tale. "Because of a stray dog we couldn't escape," complained Hilario Villalba. "When I reached the street, sticking my head out, the stupid dog barked and alerted a guard." Villalba, who is serving a 30-year double-murder sentence, vowed in his native Guarani language that he'll keep trying to escape because he said his sentence isn't fair.
