would be halted by the resemblance
he bore to an airedale and it was
so with every breed you could men

a mascot. 1t seemed as If Buck
had been born to fires. When the
gong rang Buck was at attention
ready to spring to the drivers seat
at the whistle of one Of the men.
In fact he made himself so useful
by keeping back crowds and other
fire duties that they never went to
a fire without him. In his seven
years of service with them Buck
had performed several heroic deeds,
had saved three lives as well. Yes
sir, Buck was regular fireman
and as he lay relaxed and half
asleep at the feet of the men who
were playing cards awaiting their
next summons, there was great
satisfaction written on the brave
dogs face. Once in awhile he would
twitch and his expression would
change as If remembering some of
the hard days before the tirehouse
adopted him.
