A Timely Rescue by His Master : A Scene in Johannesburg. 1900.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Graphic, May 5th, 1900," showing a Drawing by Gordon Browne, R.I., called "A Timely Rescue by His Master :  A Scene in Johannesburg."

A Correspondent in Johannesburg says that the streets have been overrun with homeless dogs since the great exodus of refugees, who could not, of course, take their pets with them.  The native police are employed to catch the dogs, and many strange encounters take place.  The dogs naturally object to being caught by strangers, so the police go to work with a lasso at the end of a rod, and after sundry manoeuvres, laughable to witness, generally end in securing the animals. Sometimes, as in the case of our illustration, a dog which belongs to a resident is pursued by the police, and then, if his master does not arrive in time to save him, his fate is sealed.  The dogs caught are taken away in a van and destroyed.

Condition is Very Good.
