The Hero Dog This shows "Rover," the dog which won wide- spread acclaim as a hero a few days ago for saving the life of his master, Mr. Joseph Maloney of .Beech- wood, when viciously at- tacked by a bull. Rover quickly came to the res- cue with such ferocity and courage that Mr. ,Ma- loney escaped with noth- ing worse than a fractur- ed ankle. The beast had knocked M. Maloney down while being led to the watering trough (in the background). He says it was only the prompt and efficient action of his dog in driving the animal away which saved him. In a few more seconds the bull would have trampled him. In the above picture taken by The News, Rover is with his master and the child- ren, Clarence, Martin, Lorraine and Leonard. Rover is 'very modest about it all and when visitors are present re- tires under the front steps unless summoned. He has been trained to do this because he sometimes seizes strangers gently by the leg to escort them off the premises, With the family he is affectionate and a great companion.
