Le Comte de Sabron and the Pitchoune Terrier
Le Comte de Sabron, captain of French carnelry, raises a motherless Irish terrier pup named Pitchoune. He dines with the Marquise d Esclignac and meets Miss Ha Redmond, an American heiress, who sings an English ballad that stirs emotion. Sabron declines a second dinner due to a very sick friend, Pitchoune thrives by his side, and Sabron is later invited to Ginner after Pitchoune s tale of loyalty is shared. Sabron must go to Algiers without servants or dogs, and Miss Redmond offers to care for Pitchoune during his absence.
