Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

The following account of the exploits of a dog in the Crimea, translated from the Gazette of Trieste, surpasses everything heretofore recorded of the devotion and bravery of this noble animal:
“A great sensation has been caused in the camp of the Allies, by the heroic deeds of a dog belonging to Col. Metmann, of the 73rd regiment of the line. On the 16th of August, during the battle of Tehernaya, the quadruped broke his chain, fought in the ranks of the army, saved the lives of a sergeant and a soldier, and took three Russians prisoners. A ball struck his foot, but the wound only embittered the animal the more. He threw himself upon a Russian officer, flung him to the ground, and dragged him prisoner by his coat collar to the French. A physician has bound up the wound, and the four footed hero is convalescing. He will probably receive some mark of honor, as another dog in the English army has been rewarded with a medal for his devotion to his master.”
