NY auction house offers poem by a young Bob Dylan

The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — Long before he became famous for such tunes as "Blowin' in the Wind," Bob Dylan wrote a poem about a little dog who met a tragic end.

Dylan was just 16 — and still going by his given name Bob Zimmerman — when he wrote "Little Buddy" in the summer of 1957 for the newspaper at Herzl (HURT'-zuhl) Camp in Webster, Wis.

Now the poem is being offered for sale at a Christie's auction, where it is expected to sell for $10,000 to $15,000 on June 23.
