After this many who had heard of the
event requested to have their dogs laid
20 rest in the same plot of ground. and
thus it came about that the permission
of the duke and the deputy ranger was
obtained to allow the garden to become
a cemetery for dogs. It has now been IN
existence twenty years. and there are
about 500 to 400 graves. all beautifully
kept Some people pay a certain amount
yearly TO have the graves properly at
tended to. Some only pay when the dog
is buried. and the cemetery is visited

who have laid away their faithful

Most of the pages had purchased seats
