Linton the Airedale Triumphs in Poona Pig-Sticking Feat
Colonel Casson’s Airedale Linton earns fame in India for rescuing him during a boar charge. The dog dashed across the plain to grab the boar by the lip, enabling Casson to finish with a coup de grace. Linton later learns train routes to Poona, helming a remarkable homing instinct. He dies in Bangalore aged five after a life of loyal service and perilous hunts.
