Many have been the regimental pets that the
Black Watch has fosteTed as mascots but the
most famous of these are the dog Pncher, Don
aid, the deer, and the "Grenaders' cat
Pincher was a small smooth haired terrier which
attached itself 20 the regiment during march
In Ireland soon after the Highanders returned
from the Peninsular War in 1914. The dog re-
NAMED with the regiment its recognized mascot
during the winter of 1914, and embarked with II
for Flanders. Pincher went into action at Quatre-
Bras and was severely wounded in the neck and
shoulder but, like a good soldier would not quit
the field. He was again in action during the Bat
tle Of Waterloo, and accompanied the regiment to
Paris Yet amidst the armies Of the Continental
nations Pncher never lost himself, and came
home safely at the conclusion Of the campaign.
His ultimate end was sad. In the year 1918 he
went with some men going on furlough, who
landed At Irvine, in Ayrshire. Poor Pincher
chased some rabbits in warren and was shot by
a samekeeper, 70 the deep and universal grief OF
the regiment when the melancholy intelligence
reached il.
Donald the deer, was with the depot which
awaited the regiment when II went into Edn-
burgh Castle in September, 1886, after landing at
Grauton from Corfu. He was a csllow youngster
81 this time and not 20 dangerous that his antlers
had 20 be cut, though this done later. II was
in Dublin that Donald suddenly took it into his
head TO march in front Of the regiment alongside
the sergeant major, and this position he occupied
FOR many months. He invariably went with the
guard to the castle, and Donald made his way
