Moss, the dog.
Moss the dog, owned by Mr Cledwyn Morgan of Ystradgynlais, near Swansea, Wales, bears the distinction of being a double hero. Young Gestyn Jones, a ten year old boy, fell into a deep pool while playing on the bank of the River Tawe. Moss sprang from the high rock into the water, caught the boys clothes in his teeth and pulled him safely to the bank. About a year later, Mrs Morgan was attacked by a large sow. Moss rushed at the animal and bit him severely in then out, thus saving her mistress from a probably severe injury. For this, Moss was awarded a special collar with a silver and enamel bar, the only one so far given.

EDITORS COMMENTS

This print showcases the remarkable Moss, a dog who became an extraordinary hero in the 1930s. Owned by Mr Cledwyn Morgan of Ystradgynlais, near Swansea, Wales, Moss holds the unique distinction of being a double savior. The image captures his noble face and strong physique. In one instance, young Gestyn Jones found himself in grave danger as he fell into a deep pool while playing on the bank of the River Tawe. Without hesitation, Moss leaped from a high rock into the water and clamped onto the boy's clothes with his teeth. With unwavering determination, he pulled Gestyn safely to dry land. But that was not all; fate tested Moss once again when Mrs Morgan faced an unexpected threat from a large sow. In an act of unparalleled bravery, our courageous canine rushed at the animal and bit it severely before swiftly retreating to protect his beloved mistress from harm. For these awe-inspiring acts of valor, Moss received well-deserved recognition. He was awarded a special collar adorned with a silver and enamel bar—an honor bestowed upon him alone thus far. This timeless photograph transports us back to an era where loyalty knew no bounds and heroes came in all shapes and sizes. It serves as a testament to both human-animal bonds and acts of selflessness that transcend time itself.
