Horse Dixie’s warning save levee and family proof of wit
A Louisiana correspondent recounts Dixie the horse belonging to K. L. Moore of Bedford parish. While injured in spring 1894 Dixie pulled the bell rope until Moore and workers returned, then led them to a breached levee where water was seeping. Dixie’s timely signal helped stop a flood, impressing master Moore and onlookers with the animal’s apparent intelligence amid farm life.
