A Common Bond
After nine months Of working
together there now exists between
Mitchell and Tasca a bond of I'M
Outstanding and a unity of move
ment that is almost uncanny.
Tasca's entire life centers around
the movements Of her master.
When he sits at his desk sealing
envelopes, she lies faithfully at
his feet. When he rises, she is
Immediately on her feet and at his
side. II he drops anything she
has been trained to pick it up and
hold it until he takes it from her
mouth.
Around the Mitchell home in the
evening Tasca plays and romps
with the children just as any other
dog, but when morning comes she
completely ignores the children and
stands by ready to go to work with
her master.
Asked what arrangements were
made for feeding Tasca on her
lunch hour, Mitchell explained that
she has been trained to eat only
one meal each day and that the
lunch hour did not present any
problem.
Before entering the Navy in 1912
Mitchell was employed in the Cen
ter Market in Washington. He
attended the Phelps Vocational
School here.
