A Boy and his Dog

Major and Earl

 From The Little Kingdom First Reader by Nettie Alice Sawyer1912, Rand McNally & Company.
(Hey a picture is a Picture!)

The story:

See what a big dog I am. My name is Major. Do you see this little boy? His name is Earl. Earl and I are playfellows. One day we were playing at the river.

Earl was sailing his little boat. I was watching him The wind took the boat out too far. Then Earl tried to get it. Poor little boy! He fell into the deep river. What do you think I did then? I jumped right into the water and swam out to Earl.

Then I took him by his coat and swam to shore.

[Well it is a First Reader]

Post card post marked 1908
