- <p> Like the other 6,500 East German Mauerhunde, or Wall dogs,
- along the old fortified borders, Asta, 4, faced an uncertain
- fate after the barriers came down. Then an animal-protection
- society arranged adoption by the Ahrndt family of Hannover.
- Alas, the German shepherd has turned out to be a pussycat.
- Instead of guarding against intruders, she welcomes anyone into
- the cottage of her owners. A mother as of March, Asta also
- seems homesick. She has yet to set paw into her master's Ford,
- but leaped happily into a visitor's East German-made Trabant
- and expected to be driven away.
