The dog and what contributions the animal made in the fabric of OI deserve recognition, And the long forgotten name of the dog that swam in the harbor collecting trash is a sad note I say. The Salty Dog bar would be a fitting tribute and a place name with a story.

Then the editor of the publication could have had a caption written informing the readers as to the identity of those pictured. In any event it is confusing to read this post. Who corrected the names of the dog owner? the OIJ poster or the Pat Brown person. Is Pat Brown a student writing a story for class credit?. Or this lawyer for all seasons, has a disconcerting fault of not getting his "facts" straight. With all due respect, this third person publication of supposed animal cruelty before my first cup of morning coffee is most disturbing. If this story is an attempt at humor by the lawyer it just reflects the changed attitude people have toward their pets. Back in the 30's animal cruelty went hand in hand in owning animals I guess. Today, animal hoarding goes hand in hand with animal cruelty. This dog was performing a community service cleaning up the harbor with his collecting of the trash. Is this Life on Pamlico still in publication and if so, is it truly source material for fact. Or a stab at a Foxfire like document?. For those that don't know, the Foxfire Books from Rabun County Georgia were groundbreaking for its time and genre'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
