Frick's dog Fido the social censor of Boston society
North Shore society notes Helen Frick, daughter of Henry Clay Frick, owns a cocker spaniel named Fido who supposedly judges guests by blood status. Fido eats a silver plated menu of kidneys and lamb, resides in Frick’s room, and signals social acceptance with a wag or bans guests with a bark. The piece portrays Fido as a walking Blue Book and arbiter of pedigree.
