1840 Breeds Fallen Hours Newfoundland Ponds Pulling Rescued Spend Waking
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print, titled "Rescued by Newfoundland," captures a heartwarming moment of a Newfoundland dog in action, saving a small child from a pond. Newfoundland dogs, known for their powerful build and strong swimming abilities, were often depicted in historical prints pulling children from perilous waters. Injudiciously falling into ponds was a common occurrence for young ones during this era, and these noble canines spent most of their waking hours ensuring the safety of their human companions. The Newfoundland breed, originally from the island of Newfoundland off the northeastern coast of Canada, was renowned for its lifesaving abilities. Their large size, webbed feet, and waterproof coats made them the perfect companions for fishermen and families living in coastal communities. This particular print, circa 1840, showcases the breed's heroic nature and unwavering loyalty. The image portrays a small child, likely unaware of the danger, standing on the edge of a pond, reaching out to pick a flower. The Newfoundland dog, ever vigilant, has already sensed the potential hazard and is in the process of pulling the child to safety. The child's surprised expression and the dog's determined gaze convey the urgency and importance of the situation. This print serves as a testament to the deep bond between Newfoundland dogs and humans, as well as their crucial role in protecting and rescuing their loved ones. The image, preserved by Mary Evans Picture Library, is a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history of these remarkable dogs and their essential role in our lives.
