Bible-like dog at the coal scales in Memphis tale
A Memphis coal dealer kept a large dog at his scales that supposedly weighed coal on carts. The clever animal stood under the wagon, and a tale recounts a worker asking to lighten the load. The dog's death followed by a return to its post ends this curious anecdote from the Memphis Ledger.
