GOOD DOG

The large black dog that Thomas Darst of the south side owns has already made himself famous by saving the life of a little tot, who fell into the water.

The dog which is a cross between a Newfoundland and St. Bernard, is the largest canine in the city and takes to water as naturally as a duck. The other day while playing along the banks of the canal, a little child fell into the water.

The dog seeing the little one struggling in the icy water plunged in and seizing its clothes in his mouth soon had it safe on the land. He is of a very lovable disposition and Mr. Darst says that he would not want to part with him under any consideration. -- New Phil. Times
