Watch dog foils arsonist and earns reward in tale
An old water-dog, sheltered in a hogshead, thwarts a would-be incendiary by warning the master. Police intervene as the arson attempt collapses, leading to the dog receiving a gold collar and the man a seven-year sentence. A moral about loyalty closes the tale. Also included is an advertisement for Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder with a testimonial from J. O. Taylor of Trenton New Jersey.
