1790 Bewick Breeds Favourite Households Newfoundland Ponds Rescue
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image of a Bewick Newfoundland, a favored breed among Victorian households, showcases the remarkable bond between man and dog during an era when such companionship was both cherished and essential. The Newfoundland's powerful build and distinctive black coat were not the only reasons for its popularity; this breed was renowned for its heroic rescues, particularly of children who, given their curious nature, often found themselves in peril near ponds and bodies of water. The photograph, taken in the late 1800s, transports us back to a time when the Newfoundland was a common sight in Victorian households. With its gentle expression and watchful eyes, this majestic dog seems to embody the loyalty and protection that made it an indispensable part of families during this historical period. The Bewick Newfoundland, named after Sir Robert Bewick, an English sea captain who is said to have brought the first Newfoundlands to England in the late 1700s, was one of several Newfoundland breeds that originated in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. These dogs were highly valued for their strength, agility, and ability to work in water, making them invaluable to fishermen and families alike. As we gaze at this photograph, we can't help but be reminded of the rich history and enduring bond between humans and their canine companions. The Bewick Newfoundland, with its propensity for rescuing children from ponds, stands as a testament to the loyalty, courage, and unwavering devotion that has connected us with these magnificent creatures for centuries.
