Oct 15th, 2017: Station Dog (Jim Dog)
Jim Dog resides at platform #5 of London bound Slough station. Don’t offer him a treat, he’s stuffed.
Has been since 1896. But there’s a slot under Jim Dog’s window to make charity donations, because that was his bag… er, box. Quote:

No radio, no phone, no internet, and Jim beat staring out the window, even if it was clean enough to do so. link

Alas, poor Jim Dog! They knew him, Dwellars: a canine
of infinite tricks, of most excellent charity: he hath borne a pack on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in our imagination it is! the gorge rims at it. There hangs those boxes that they had filled I know not how oft. Where be his barks now? his growls? his howls? his wags of merriment, that were wont to set the platform on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own licking? quite tail-droopin'? Now get you to your window, and tell them, let them fill the slot with donations, to your calling they must come; make them laugh at that. Prithee, Dwellars, tell me one thing ... Who's a good boy! |
