DOG AT THE GATE—SAD STORY OF A TAILWAGGER
P.luey is a cattle dog who has been waiting expectantly at the gate of a hospital at Kogarth, Australia, for five years, always hoping to greet his master with a welcome of tail-wagging and excited barks. His long vigil started in 1928, when his master became ill and was brought to the hospital. Bluey followed the ambulance. When his master died nobody was able to make him understand what had happened, and although five years have passed he still chases everyone who leaves the hospital, but pays no attention, to the cars that go in. Many attempts have been made to induce him to live with people in good homes, but Bluey insists on keeping his tryst. He allows women to pet him, but he will only let one man touch him. This is the attendant who feeds him.
