Dog Swan Across Sound.

Inconsolable over the loss of their
pet dog, which fell into the Sound
while on a motor-boat near Middle
ground Light on July 4, the family of
Henry Chittenden. of Bridgeport, was
surprised last evening to see the animal
walk into the house. Emaciated from
lack of food, the overjoyed dog yelped
its gladness at returning home. and
promptly devoured the big dinner that
was given it. The only conclusion
reached by the Chittenden family is
that the animal accomplished the
prodigious feat of swimming about
seven miles.
How the dog managed to reach shore
after falling into the water Is mystery
to Mr.. Chittenden.
Where the dog spent the last month
is also a mystery, but Mr.. Chittenden
felt right along that if his pet was
alive, it would find its way home.
There was no mistaking the dog S
joy in getting back to il Sold home.
After satisfying its hunger, it went
through every room in the house to
see if things were just as they we're
when it left on the GLORIOUS Fourth"
