Pet show notes and a tale from the Grand St Bernard Hospice
A local column discusses a pet show with dogs and a cat, mentioning awards for unusual traits and a letter from a donor enabling rescue dogs at the Grand St Bernard Hospice. It recalls dogs foreseeing avalanche danger and an anecdote about the famed monastery kennels and a Tibetan exile rumor. The piece then compares July celebrations to Eton's June Fourth rituals and England’s long held festivities.
