Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     A few days ago Butcher Robinson’s large Newfoundland dog cooled himself in the canal, and after swimming far away from his point of entrance, he tried to get out where the wall was high up from the water. He made many ineffectual attempts to do it and failed. Gov. Smyth’s shepherd dog saw his difficulty, ran about to get assistance, but none coming, when the big water-dog put up his paws to make one more effort to get out, the knowing Scotch coolly grabbed him by the neck as one grabs a brother by the hand to help him out or over a difficult place, and he was landed high, if not dry, much to the joy of both.-Manchester [N.
