HEROISM OF DOGS
By Charles S. Pearson
Srpijj- matter of rind
■*■ ir.g their way [over
long t-tretches of terri
tory in order to be with
those they love is one of
the most inexplicable
traits of the canine char
acter. In this connection
may be cited the case of
a dog of peculiarly affec
tionate disposition K-
longing to a t'amilv who
moved from Ohio to Kan
sas, a distance of more
than eight hundred miles.
T r> route on which the
d >g accompanied his own
ers was by rail as far as
St. I-ouis, then by steam
boat up the Missouri Riv
er to Atclr.son. thence bj"
wagon road to their des
tination. After remaining for a low years in •
Kansas, the owners of the dog returned to
Ohio without him. having presented the
animal to a friend who livid near the Kansas
home.
Some ■■■■■'■ after their occupancy of the
original homestead in » )hio. there appeared lie
fore their astonished eyes, ....
sore, but in a wild state of joy and excitement
.-.-.-■...• his old friends, their canine com
panion they supposed happy with his adopted
family It was ascertained by letter from
Kansas, nswering one inquiring as to the
dog's disappearance, that he must have trav
eled between forty and fifty miles a day, in
order to arrive within the calculated time. It
was impossible for him to have followed the
original route to Kansas, as it was, partly at
least, by water, and he must have taken the
overland trail, which he located in his own
incomprehensible fa-hion. but which had led
him unerringly to his home again.
Some Military Dojjs
W\ ESERVI XG of honorable mention was
*-' Hub of the Grenadier Guards, who par
ticipated in the Crimean campaign with
that corps; also Patte Blanche ( \\ hite Paw),
a comrade of the English mastirf. who served
... ... line, and received a ter
rible wound while he was bravely defending
the flag.
Unu>ual distinction was attained by a dog
attached to a Frei regiment, that of recov
ering the regimental colors, which act of hero-;
ism wast performed at Austerliz. The fearless
animal was Mustache, entered on the regi
mental roll as entitled t>« a grenadier's rations,
while the barber of the regiment had orders to
clip and comb him once a week. Mustache
received a bayonet thrust at Marengo. and by
order of Marshal Lannes the dog was dec .rated
with a blue ribbon, by which a medal was at
tached to his ... dog followed a soldier
to Marengo. and was reported mi-sing during
the ...... from Russia.
A .... designated on the rolls
as Misere, helped swell the fighting strength of
the Sixth of the Guard, and had three white
j-tripes sewed into his black hair. < tther famous
dogs of war were Lout out ■-. a Crimean veteran;
Mittrailli. which 10-t its life from a shell at
Inkerman; and Moffino, a native of Milan.
which is de>erving of special mention. This
splendid animal saved his master in Russia,
■was lost later, and, incredible as it may seem,
retraced his way from Moscow to Milan.
Barry of the Alps
A- ■ St. Hernard Hospice, almost
■**■ ... summit of the celebrated Alpine
pass on the mountain road leading fr-.m Mar
tigny to Aosta in Piedmont; at an altitude of
eighty-two hundred feet, one ..f the most ele
vated" permanently inhabited sj*.ts in Europe,
••.•■•■■ St. Augustinian monks have
reared and trained the great St. Hernard mem
bers of the canine tnbe. The pa*-s is notorious
for the terrific -now storms which sweep over
the crest unexpectedly, overwhelming travelers
and leaving them liewildered in the treacherous
defiles to perish miserably from cold. Hut for
the dog patrols of the Saini Augustimans, not
hundreds merely, but thousands so overtaken.
would have been irretrievably doomed to
death.
Descended from this distinguished line ot
four footed agents of the Humane Society of
the Alps. .... supreme. This animal,
whose devotion to duty, real nobleness of
nature, and reasoning faculty akin to human
intelligence surpass belief, gained imperishable
fame. His magnificent record was haying

alone, of more than seventy persons whose
bones but for him would have bleached on
the bare and frigid mountainside about the
rr ' More than would fill a volume are the true
stories related of this admirable dog; but his
exploits one October day. opening at thi
hospice with skies clear for that climate, closing
on a wild; winter ridden ene of bleakest
severity, will suffice. When the serene skies
toward afternoon became wind swept, and a
raging snow storm descended upon the pass,
the monks prepared for the rescue and recep
tion of travelers, several hundred of whom the
hospice is capable of sheltering.
After night had descended nth mow
filled mountain, the temperature touching the
zero point, the vigilant Barry pri. ked up his
ears sniffed through the falling Hakes outside,
and bounded forth into
the darkness, whi the
monks eagerly awaited
his return. A party of
five travelers, found all
but xhausted on the
drifting Alpine road by
the dog, were led by him
into tne warmth of the
monastery.
Soon Harry again
evinced signs of uneasi
ness, sniffing and listen
ing intently. Once more
he plunged into the
heart of t!.. storm on
his errand of Ivation.
This time le did not re
appear, and the night
■■:
I >ay broke on the fury
• •I' an Alpine tempest
seldom witnessed, and
grave fears were entei
tamed by the monks for
"„■* Barry's safety. Three
days intervened Iff ore
he ston abated sufficiently to allow the monks
o sally forth with Harry's mates in earch of
lim, and led by thei the Saint Augustinians
ound him.
The dog was more than half a mile from
.he hospice, in a sheltered plai c where he
lad dragged an unfortunate wayfarer, stretch
n{j himself out on the half conscious man
;o shield him with his shaggy coat from the

varrn body to that of the victim of the storm. '

Dan of New York
iVLOCAL celebrity at least was Dan. a life
saving dog of New York city, where he »s
rreuited with having rescued almost a dozen
;>ersons who would have ....
if accident, or fr<'tn attempt at suicide. The
mimal's home was a .... East River
•v.itt r ...... his owner, the pier
.vatchman, to whom Dan had come as a half
jrowni half starved, homeless outcast. lie
was of the excellent Newfoundland stram.
ihough not considered a full blooded repre
sentative.
What he lacked in blood, however, he
snore possessed in .... his under;
standing w.is marvelous. Such a display
if intellect as his seizing with his teeth the
;lothes of some little one whose ...
had led ..... water's edge, and drag
ging it out of harm's way, was not considered
remarkable for him.
Dan's ... essay at life saving was that <•!
matching from a watery grave his roaster, who
had made a misstep on the edge of the sleet
Covered pier in the darkness of a winter nights
and found himself struggling with the cakes
uf ice rushing him to destruction in the black,
lienumbing water. The watchman managed
to send out his cry for help, and the trip dog.
which was in the vicinity, heard it. and soon
was swimming rapidly to his assistance. How
it was accomplished the owner could not ex
plain clearly, but presently he lay on ....
lirma, with his shaggy rescuer licking his face
tn restore him to .... Succeeding
this the dog's record rescues increased m
surprising fashion.;
One of Dan's most commendable exploits
was his foiling the attempt at suicide, in sijjht
of scores of persons attracted to the scene, of a
lusty longshoreman^ who was so crazed by im
bibing the liquor dispensed to his kind that he
imagined his only chance of safety lay in
drowning the fiery demons Insetting him in
the river, and himself with them. In this case
Dan nave evidence thai he possessed a mind
far above other d"gs. After approaching the
maddened man, at the outset to !*• almost
throti and dragged down, Dan learned
caution, and awaited his opportunity to save
the other without going down with him.
This was achieved by swimming round ami
round the longshoreman, until the man was
completely helpless, then darting in and grip
ping the back if the coat collar in his strong
teeth, thus sustaining him above tile surface
until human aid could arrive.
"A Narrow Escape
'"PI 1 ! S feat came ear resuli in the death oi
1 both, for the man was wholly unconscious,
and Dan was almost spent when rescued and
rescuer were hauled into a boat pushed hastily
out from shore; but soon the dog was frisking
as usual al«<ut the pier.
A large sum of money for the purchase of
Dan was refused by his master! The offer
was extended by a liberal museum proprietor
who wished to exhibit him, as the owner re
marked indignantly with Celtic wit, "on a
platform; with the two-headed call on one
side, the blue faced baboon on the thei and a
bunch of tools below; but not the likes of
them for such as him!"
Poor Dan, beloved of all the habitues of the
water front and all who were cognizant of his
deeds, met death in the line of duty, but not
in the manner thai might have been expected.
He was fatally crushed beneath a heavy tnuk.
it •..,.. averred by those who saw the accident;
while iittempting to reach a chi he con
sidered to be in danger. He was one oi the
few dogs 0 have flowers a 1 his funeral, . ■.•'.
thi tribute of affection was bought by con
tributions from the lim purses of those who
were the daily sociate ol the dumb brute
which had the heart of a hero.
