A DOG—BUT A HERO
The R.S.P.C.A. has fastened a silvermounted collar, inscribed with, the name of Bunty, about the neck of a mongrel dog, a cross between a Spaniel and an Irish Terrier. Bunty lives at Childwall, near Liverpool, England. His mistress is Miss Beatrice Williamson, who lives in Well Lane; and Bunty is happy now, because Miss Williamson is well enough to take him for walks again. It was while she was preparing dinner one day that the great deed was done. Miss Williamson fell in a sudden faint against the fire. Her clothing caught alight, and most of it was burned off when Bunty took a paw in the proceedings. He dragged her away from the fire, he tore at the burning dress, and he was patting out the smouldering portions when help came. Bunty was burned, . but he didn’t " mind that. What he minded was being taken away from his mistress and having to be parted from her for five weeks while she was in hospital. But now she is home again, and Bunty is a happy dog once more.
