Love for a dog rescuer ends in tragedy in southern tale
In a southern tale shared by Old Man Negley, Miller keeps his collie Scamp chained with heavy blocks after a rescue by Gregg. Scamp saves Gregg from a bad leg, travels back to Gregg repeatedly, and endures years of punishment and separation, finally dying after a train strike while seeking Gregg. The story hinges on dog loyalty and the strange homing instinct.
