Show STRAY DOG'S LONELY VIGIL In Five Years Canine Has Never Deserted Grave in Ohio Cemetery. Fultouhnm, O. In Hie cemetery a homeless cur mourns on the grave of George Baker. The people call her "the graveyard dog." Five years ago the animal went to the cemetery following fol-lowing the funeral procession of Baker, an aged farmer who died at his home near there. Every night the dog keeps a close vigil over the grave. It sleeps for hours at a stretch during the day on the little mound that marks Baker's resting place. Villagers long ago gave up hope of coaxing the dog away. She leaves the cemetery only long enough each day to search for food. Friends of Baker say he never owned the dog. Cemetery trustees refuse to drive the animal away and she seems likely to spend the rest of her days in this strange and unusual manner. |
