“Ring,” the black and white dog who j
belonged to Mrs. F. B. Wood is dead. |
To those people who did not know:
King, his death will mean nothing but:
the of another dog, but to us.
Seward people, young and old, the;
death of “Ring” means the world old
tradgedy of a broken heart. He did not;
die of old age, neither was he removed,
by violent means. He deliberately,
starved himself to death. Grief, caus
ed by the knowledge that his mistress
.• j
was compelled through circumstances (
to leave him behind in Seward was the
direct cause of the faithful animals
death. He knew that he was to be left
behind, knew it two weeks ago, on the
Mrs. Wood decided that she must i
to California to join her invalid:
husband. “Ring,” who was always
with Mrs. Wood, heard her, on the day
she decided to leave, telling one of herj
dose .friends about the trip she was
planning and about how bad she felt
because it was impossible for her to
taka “Ring” with her. He was listen
ing and from his subsequent actions he
^ evidently understood every word of
the conversation. To him it waa a
death Mow. The only person in the
world whom he loved was about to
Idnvo Mm friendless and alone. Silent
ly he grieved. He refused to eat Day
by day he grew more gaunt and shad
owy. Day by day he grew weaker and
more pitiful looking The choicest mor
%
seh of food were placed before him.
He was petted and coaxed, but to no
avail . His heart was broken. His
spirit gone. There was nothing left
for him to live for. On Sunday, three
hours before Mrs. Wood sailed on the
& 8 • Northwestern, poor Ring closed4
C his eyes for the last time. His dog
spirit left the poor, wasted body for;
the place where dog spirits go. “Ring”
was mat a common, ordinary specimen
.of a dog, but his heart was true and
his love sincere for the woman who
had treated him kindly. Some people
wh.) read 4his little story will say.
“Hump1!” he was just a dog. It was
simply a coincidence his dying when
he di*1 Fe was sick, that’s all. Possi
bly it was a coincidence. Possibly he
was sick and would have died on Sun
day whether Mrs. Wood went or stay
ed, but the fact remains that his sick
ness dated from the very hour when
he learned that Mrs. Wood was leav
irg ana his death occurred three hours
before she sailed south. A dog is mere
ly a dog to most people, but there are
*Ksnr among, us who,know, particular
ly those who own a dog, that while a
dog it merely a dog, jt is at the same
»txine the most sincere and unselfish
friend we have in the world. “Ring*
^ras a dog. Merely a black and white
dog, but he loved his mistress better
than anything else in the world. “Dog
Ring*' died of a broken heart. .
