Sagacious Dogs and Odd Bird Tales of Rail Newsboys
Animal lore describes several dogs along the Naugatuck Railroad that act as newsboys for masters at homes and farms, delivering papers from moving cars. A tale notes a senator’s dog who fetched the Harford Times, while others lugged bundles or waited at stations. Also recounted is a farmer’s tale of owls, a scythe, and stump toes. A Friday meat habit of a Catholic dog visiting a Protestant neighbor is described, plus a distant pigeon race where a carrier pigeon was beaten by a Continental mail train before London.
