Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

The Charleston Evening News relates a singular instance of canine attachment. Two dogs, one a terrier and the other a spaniel, were playing together on Haskell street, Charleston, on Friday last, when an omnibus in passing unfortunately ran over and killed the terrier. The spaniel commenced the most piercing cries and pathetic lamentations for the death of his companion. It remained all that day and night in the midst of severe cold, by which it appeared to be almost paralyzed, by affectionate position, sending up all the time the most pitiful cries and groans. Nor was it induced to abandon the dead body of its companion until its master forced it away, being thirty-six hours in this situation.
