Daddy sBedtrne
~ The Big Dog
,NOYV - That Won the
Bravery Medal.

- ADDY had never told Jack and Evelyn about the great, big dog who
had been awarded a medal for having rescued two children. When
0 daddy suggested telling them this story they were very eager to hear
It at once. -.H
You zee" commenced daddy, "this big dog saved the chidrenhs lives in
the winter Every night I've meant to tell you this story, and every night
some other story has come to my mind hrt
1.-THE other day they gave the dog this medal, and 10 I decided 7 must
not PUT or telling you the story any longer @~~
THE medal was made just for the dog. 1t was OF bronze engraved with
his name and the date when he saved the children. It had a clasp on it, 60
1T could be attached to bis collar.
And now I,wl tell you the story. Way back In the winter two chill
were skating o a pond. 1t was a bu@tery. snowy afternoon. and they
were the only ones or the ice.
This big dog I'm telling yu about ws taking a good u on this cold
winters day when he spted the children o the pond. "a
He went down to the pond and ran across 1t a little way, but the ice
cded that he had better stay around 20 see that nothing happened TO the
children.
He had been there but a moment or two when a terrific crack in the Ice
sounded. It gave way. and the two children fell through. The sheet broke
rapidly, and the water was 1901 clear for some distance around them.
Quickly the dog went to the rescue Of the children and swan to the
shore with them. He saw som people drive by in a sleigh O the road above.
and he barked so frantcaly that they stopped to see what the trouble was.
Then, Of course. they drove the two children to their home. The big dog
went along too.
"NOw, all that was in the winter, but the children never forgot who saved
their lives, and the mother and daddy of the children were, oh, so grateful
The people in the sleigh never admired any animal a they did the dog who
had made them stop by his wise barking, and 81 the other day q real r@ep-
ton was held for him. At this he al given the medal. His friends wanted
him to have something to wear OIL his collar so that people might see it and
appreciate the bravery and presence of mind of the great big splendid dog.
The hero simply said 'Bow.wow! when they fastened the medal on his collar:
He wanted to tell them that he thought they were being very good to him,
and he thanked them, but at the sam time he a 10 modest that he didn't
think he had been &c brave He felt any other dog would have done just the
same for a he adored children and they were always so good to hm."
