More research gold
I LOVE historical research. There's pure gold to be mined on microfiche. Yesterday I was looking through 1943 copies of the San Francisco Chronicle. On Page 20, next to the want ads, I found this tiny snippet, about an inch in column space:

Dog Shot at Dead Master's Request
Pittsburgh, Feb 3 (AP) - All day yesterday an aged German shepherd dog whined in the room he shared with his master, Albert E. Newcomb.
Neighbors, investigating, found Newcomb dead and his faithful pet lying despondent near him.
Friends of Newcomb told humane society officials his last request was that the dog be shot should he die.
Today the animal joined his master.
