EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative late 19th century photograph, an old Newfoundland dog named Tray demonstrates the unwavering loyalty and heroism that has made his breed legendary. The scene unfolds along the rocky shoreline, where the frothy waves relentlessly crash against the jagged cliffs. The young girl, dressed in a red frock and white bonnet, stands at the water's edge, her eyes fixed on the distant horizon as she reaches out to retrieve a floating toy. Unnoticing the encroaching tide, she is soon swept off her feet and submerged in the icy water. Amidst the chaos, Old Dog Tray springs into action. With a powerful and determined expression, he leaps into the water, his massive paws cutting through the waves as he swims towards his young mistress. His eyes are locked on hers, and his every muscle strains with the effort of reaching her in time. As the current threatens to pull her under, Tray's jaws close around her waist, and with a mighty heave, he brings her safely back to the shore. The photograph captures the moment of triumph and relief as the girl is securely in Tray's embrace, her eyes wide with gratitude and awe. The old Newfoundland's heroism is a testament to the deep bond between man and dog, and the unwavering devotion that transcends the passage of time. This powerful image, taken in the late 19th century, remains a poignant reminder of the enduring love and loyalty that Old Dog Tray and his kind have shown to generations of families and friends.
