Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

The following incident is related by the Long Point, Advocate:-A few days since, as we were leaving our residence on our usual morning visit to the Advocate office, a sorrel horse belonging to us, galloped up and caught my arm, and made an attempt to pull us in the direction he wished to go. He then left and went off at a quick gate towards a pasture on our farm, about a quarter of a mile distant from our residence. In a few moments he approached us again making an unusual noise, and seemed by his action to desire us to follow him. This we did, and when we reached the pasture, we observed the mate of the horse entangled in a bridge which had broken through with him. After we had extricated his companion from his dangerous position, the horse which had given notice of his mate’s danger, came up and rubbed his head against us showing signs of great satisfaction.
