He ought to have been driven away, of course, but it was warm and the policeman then in the buildin\u2019 were lazy, and the dog was both stubborn and sleepy; so he remained. After sleepin\u2019 there a few hours he woke up and walked into the patrol room, where the policeman assemble when on what is called \u201chouse duty.\u201d Here he stretched himself once more on the floor and fell asleep again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He slept till about midnight, and then awoke refreshed, and for good. At midnight the fourth section of the second platoon of police was rung up and, obedient to the summons, the policemen marched into the main room and ranged \u2018emselves in line. The dog looked up and then marched himself into the main room and arranged himself in line along with the rest. This tickled the men and amused the sergeant in charge at the desk, who, after callin\u2019 the roll, named the dog \u201cPete\u201d and enrolled him formally among the police attached to the precinct. While gettin\u2019 named and enrolled \u201cPete\u201d stood perfectly still and dignified, and seemed to understand perfectly what was goin\u2019 on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As the men went out to duty the sergeant cried, \u201cGo with \u2018em, Pete,\u201d and \u201cPete\u201d thereupon followed the men out solemnly. His outside duties that night were of a miscellaneous character, consistin\u2019 principally in goin\u2019 from one patrolman to another throughout the precinct, acknowledgin\u2019 the presence of each officer he met by a bark of recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When mornin\u2019 came the men on night duty returned to the station house and \u201cPete\u201d returned with \u2018em and went to sleep, stretched out on the floor of the station house once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; All this passed as a good joke\u2013a little episode\u2013and everybody took it for granted that havin\u2019 had his little \u201clark\u201d the dog would go away\u2013but he didn&#8217;t. He stayed the next day, and the next, and for six years after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sometimes he would go out with the men in the afternoon, but as a general thing he got in his police work between midnight and mornin\u2019. When in the station house he was always sleepin\u2019 or eatin\u2019. But once outside he never ate nor slept, but was wide awake and active, as a policeman ought to be. He didn&#8217;t seem to agree with Gilbert, who says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cTaking one consideration with another,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the life of a policeman is not a happy one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">for whenever he was actin\u2019 policemen \u201cPete\u201d seemed perfectly content\u2013the very incarnation of happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He caught the policeman&#8217;s ways, too, pretty well, for he soon got into the habit of makin\u2019 a good deal of pretty servant girls and janitors\u2019 daughters, and all that. And then he walked a good deal, like the policemen, strollin\u2019 leisurely yet rather majestically, along. He never jumped\u2013that wasn&#8217;t proper; he never ran\u2013that was decidedly improper; he never played nor romped\u2013that wasn&#8217;t dignified, but he just sauntered along, keepin\u2019 his weather eye open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; And on three different occasions \u201cPete,\u201d the dog policeman, did the State service and vindicated his right to his title and to his pay, if he could have got it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Once \u201cPete,\u201d durin\u2019 the small hours of the night, was, as usual, goin\u2019 from patrolman to patrolman through the precinct when, in front of a bonded warehouse on Greenwich street, he saw three men standin\u2019. The three men didn&#8217;t know anythin\u2019 about \u201cPete\u201d and took no notice of him, but \u201cPete\u201d took notice of the three men and didn&#8217;t like their looks. With more than average human sagacity \u201cPete\u201d passed on a little and then turned back. By this time the three men had got into the bonded warehouse and had disappeared, whereupon \u201cPete\u201d quietly lay down in front of the door and waited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cAll things come to him who waits\u201d&#8211;even a policeman. And pretty soon a policeman by the name of Dougherty came along. Seein\u2019 him, \u201cPete\u201d growled and pawed at the door of the warehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dougherty took no special notice of this, but patted the dog on the head, expectin\u2019 to have the dog follow him. But \u201cPete\u201d never moved, but only growled more warnin\u2019ly and pawed still more at the door of the warehouse, as if two direct the patrolman&#8217;s attention to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dougherty took the hint, and steppin\u2019 up to the door, to the great delight of the dog, examined it and found it had been tampered with. He rapped for assistance, the dog now barked furiously, two other policemen hurried to the spot, the bonded warehouse was searched and the three burglars were found secreted in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"337\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/policedog2.png?resize=337%2C376&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/policedog2.png?w=337&amp;ssl=1 337w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/policedog2.png?resize=269%2C300&amp;ssl=1 269w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dougherty got the credit for their arrest and really deserved some of it, but the main praise was due to \u201cPete.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cPete\u201d had a very quick eye and a very peculiar bark, short, sharp and decisive, which was known to every policeman in that precinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Once he was patrollin\u2019 Broadway on a clear, cold Winter&#8217;s night when he noticed that a pane of glass had been broken in the basement of a buildin\u2019 near Cedar street. An ordinary policeman probably wouldn&#8217;t have seen this, but the dog at once stopped and barked like fury. Two Patrolmen, recognizin\u2019 his bark, hurried to the spot and were conducted by \u201cPete\u201d towards the broken pane. One of the patrolmen, named Donnelly, rushed in and found that there had been a robbery effected, though the thieves this time had escaped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On a third occasion \u201cPete&#8217;s\u201d nose served the city in good stead. Passin\u2019 along Fulton Street one night he smelled smoke. He sniffed and sniffed and then barked furiously. Several patrolmen rushed to the spot, smelt the smoke, gave the alarm and thereby saved what might have proved a disastrous conflagration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Altogether the record of \u201cPete\u201d the dog policeman is highly credible to dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[Editor&#8217;s notes: The source of the above column was a newspaper item that had appeared in the <em>New York Sun<\/em> three years earlier, on May 2, 1881, &#8220;How Pete Came on the Force.&#8221; This article contained all the facts listed above, but no more. The first trained police dogs appeared in 1907.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The &#8220;dog show&#8221; alluded to in the first paragraph above refers to the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, which started in 1877&#8211;about the time that &#8220;Pete&#8221; first appeared. In its early years, it was known as simply, The New York Dog Show; but its home has been Madison Square Garden since the early 1880s.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"331\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/dogshow.png?resize=331%2C578&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1407\" style=\"width:333px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/dogshow.png?w=331&amp;ssl=1 331w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/dogshow.png?resize=172%2C300&amp;ssl=1 172w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 331px) 100vw, 331px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The dog show naturally attracts one&#8217;s attention to dogs,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,61],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-animals","category-police"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
