D ht - ll (Of the thousands of requests for information received by the Post Office Department each month by far the greatest number ask for the story of Owney, the Postal Dog. Originally this was writ, ten by Ruth Thompson for the Modern School Readers Book Four on information supplied by the department. Owney now is mounted and on display in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D C.) A dog, homeless and hungry and shivering from cold, one day crept into the Post Office at Albany, New York. The clerki were very busy and did not notice him, so he huddled c4i a pile of mail bags and fell asleep. The next day the mail clerks found him They felt sorry for the dog and did not have the heart to drive him out into the cold again, for he had such a wistful look in his eyes and such a pleading wag to his tail. So when lunch time came, the clerks shared their lunchca with him and it may have been that which started the dog's love for the men in the Post Office, and in fact, for all men who handled the mail for Uncle Sam. As the weeks passed, the little visitor made the post office hia home. As he did not seem to belong to anyone, he was an adopted son The men named him "Owney " If you have ever owhed a dog you know how intelligent a dog sometimes is. Owney wa a very intelligent animal. He watched the mail bags come and go and seemed to regard them as hi friends Perhaps it was hia curiosity that led him to make a trip with the mail bags. It is certain that he felt safe any place the bags went and with the men who handled them. He wa often gone on a trip for several week and then he would return to the Albany post office. The mail clerks were afraid Owney would get lost. They bought him a collar and on it they placed his name and address. Then they fastened a card to the collarasking postal clerks to attach the name of any place that Owney visited. Owney very soon started out on visits all over the United States He carried so many tags that they were too heavy for him. The postmaster felt sorry to see him with such a load. So he had a harness made and Owney could then take his tags wuth him very comfortably. The time came when Owney went around the world. He was in the city of Tacoma, Washington, when the mail bags were being loaded for Japan and China. When the post office men saw that Owney surely meant to go abroad too, they gave him a letter of introduction to the postal people in many parts of the world. Then Owney was the guest of the captain of the ship, lie had a glorious trip. With his harness carrying his tags and medals, he was a very important passenger on board. Owney was well received and properly treated in foreign countries. When he arrived in Japan, the Mikado gave him a passport which bore the seal of the empire. In China the emperor made him welcome and Owney saw many of the leading merchants. Everywhere that Owney went he was an object of great interest. He was .such a friendly and intelligent dog that he made many friends. Owney landed in New York from his trip abroad. From there he crossed the country to Tacoma, his starting point. He had been gone Just 132 days on his trip. Owney was the greatest dog traveler in the world. He had no home except the mail sacks on steamers and mail trains. His dearest friends were always the postal clerks. The men with whom Owney chose to ride were always regarded as the lucky ones. It was said that Owney carried good luck with him, for no accident ever happened on a train on which Owney was traveling. It always flattered and pleased the men when Owney chose to travel with them. When Owney's journeys were over, it was found that he had about 200 checks, medals and certificates. The United States Post Office Department has kept the tags and a picture of Owney. ( |
