توضیحات
For a hundred years the American newspaper had lots of little holes in it, an inch or two at the foot of a column, and a remarkable amount of what editors dropped into it was dogs.A Newfoundland who swam out to a wreck on the Kent coast and brought back the line. A collie who carried the mail between two silver camps in the Mojave for two beefsteaks a week. A mastiff who brought a hippopotamus ashore in the Detroit River, a pointer who came within three votes of district attorney, a Methodist dog who went to church every Sunday by himself, a bull terrier who held his own thief for the police, a collie who walked forty miles to fetch the family cat, and a dog of Aurora, Indiana, who was elected city marshal and was refused the oath of office.Here are seventy-nine of them, reprinted word for word from the papers that ran them between 1824 and 1928, each one numbered, cited, illustrated in the manner of the day and, where the story leaves room, commended. Every story was printed as fact.Among the citations: The Rescue of Eight Mariners · Election as City Marshal of Aurora · Bringing a Hippopotamus Ashore · Fetching the Family Cat · Regular Attendance at Divine Service · Swimming 153 Miles."The family are all Presbyterians, but the dog is a Methodist." — The Boston Journal’s New York correspondent, 1862
