Desperate Encounter With Wounded Watch-Dog
Sunday morning last a dog owned by Mr. Carmichael at Harestone Dighty Water was brutally attacked with an axe by a thief. The creature bore severe wounds including a cut to the back and loss of part of the tail, yet blood traces show a struggle, and the dog crawled to a nearby well before collapsing in a haystack. No property was taken, as workers had left for the night, and the dog’s bold stand is credited with property preservation while the animal recovers.
