A Boa Story From Scotland
A gentleman employed at a colliery near Glasgow had a dog called Jimmy, which he parted with to a friend at a colliery some miles distant. The collieries arc connected by telephone, and on a recent morning the gentleman rang up his friend and asked how Jimmy was doing. ‘Oh, he’s fine,’ was the answer. * He’s at my feet just now I’ll hold him up and see if he knows your voice.’ This was done, and the former owner shouted over the wire, ‘ Hello, Jimmy !’ Jimmy made no sign of recognition, but on being set down again die at once made for the door, and when his old master went home to dinner the dog was there to welcome him.
