Uncle John’s Unsinkable Bathroom Reader
“Owney is one of the best ever.
DOG TIREDOne autumn day in 1888, a young, straggly, Terrier-mix mutt snuck into the Albany, New York, post office and went to sleep on top of some empty mailbags. The next morning, postal employees discovered him…and took a liking to him. They decided to let him stay at the office and gave him the name “Owney,” although nobody seems to know quite why.
Owney seemed strangely attached to the mail bags. He didn’t just like sleeping on them in the office; he sat on to...p of them in the mail wagons as they were taken to the railroad station to be loaded on mail cars. One day he went a little farther—literally—when he jumped into one of the train cars and made the trip from Albany to New York City, sitting on top of the bags. That, it turned out, was just the beginning.
ON HIS OWNEY The self-appointed mailbag guard dog started taking longer and longer trips, hopping from mail train to mail train, and would sometimes be away from the Albany office for months at a time.MoreLess
