A DOG'S FAITHFULNESS
ACCIDENT ON A SHEEP STATION. Christchureh, Tuesday. A serious accident and one whiph* afforded another instance of the intelligence and faithfulness of a dog, occurred on the Lake Heron sheep station, on the banks of the Cameron river, and near the glaciers, on Saturday. Richard Carney, of Alford Forest, went out mustering sheep on the back and high part of Mrs. Lascclles' Heron run. As he did not return to his hut in the evening, a search party went out and about 1 o'clock on Sunday morning Carney was found by his mate, F. Chapman, at the foot of a precipice, having apparently fallen down over the frozen snow and ice. He was in an unconscious state, very badly bruised and cut about, and had one of his arms seriously injured. When Chapman found his mate, the collie dog Carney had taken out with him was sitting with a most pathetic look at Carney's shoulder, after having rendered all the first aid a dog could, by licking Carney's wounds absolutely clean, then patiently guarding his wounded master till assistance should arrive.
Carney was taken to the Ashburton Hospital in an unconscious state.
