Some folks used to say their bond of friendship was al- most human, But they were wrong. It was more than hu- man—the blind adoration of a loyal dog for her mistre the almost fierce tenderness of mistress toward pet. And so, when Mrs, Effie Burns lay upon her death bed on March 28, it wasn’t altogether strange that one of her last thoughts should be for the little dog. “I'm going on a long trip,” she whispered to her husband, Capt. John J. Burns, retired army officer. “And I want com- pany. Can't I take Trixie with me?” Now Capt. Burns loved Trixie, too—with a love second only to the emotion felt by his wife.
