DOG WHO JUST “DIED” IN TIME
TRICK SAVES HIS LIFE Prompt obedience to a trick taught ! it by its master saved a valuable Airedale puppy from being killed by a 1 train at Burry, South Wales*. The owner of the dog was waiting j for a train from Cardiff when someitl ing on the track caught the dog's ! eye, and it leapt down on to the rails, j just as the train came steaming in. Women on the platform tried to coax the dog away, and one threw a ; glove, hoping that the dog would go ir. chase, but it refused to move. | Then, with a happy inspiration, the i owner called out, “Die, Wolf.” and the dog was lost to sight underneath the train. As the train moved away again Wolf i was lying on its back, with legs stiff in the air, still simulating death. At its owner’s whistle the dog bounded I back on to the platform again, unhurt.
