Dog Recovers Master’s Purse
A Dungannon district farmer, who
wishes to remain anonymous, today
valued his faithful dog’s friendship
more than ever. The reason—the dog
found his wallet containing a consid
erable sum of money, received when
the farmer marketed eight fine pigs.
Placing it in his wallet and putting
his wallet in his pocket, the farmer
proceeded to the barn before going
to the village where he intended to
spend the money. He was surprised
upon putting his hand in his pocket
after reaching Dungannon to find the
wallet and money gone. Meanwhile at
home, the dog, a young collie, was
disporting himself with his master’s
purse and came to the door with it
in his mouth. The farmer’s wife ad
mitted the dog, and could not believe
her eyes when she saw what he car
ried. No one knows where he picked
it up, but, as there was snow on the
ground, it might have been dropped
in the snow.
