A dog who already bore about his muzzle some not inglorious scars, accompanied his master, who carried on his breast the Victoria Cross, to the Ashanteecampaign. Being of the bulldog breed and with a natural turn for fighting he distinguished himself on several occasions, and indeed throughout the campaign. In one instance he rushed into the enemy's, ranks, and, singling out one of his naked foes, so bit and worried him that he actually brought in his prisoner in triumph He was such a favorite with the men that in a heavy engagement their fire was suspended for a moment to allow of his uninjured retreat from one of .his oWrateforays, He lives to enjoy his r«iurn and his honors, and at this moment /is one o£ the greatest pets in Belgravia../
