Old Fidelity (1911)
In this story it is pay day at the Gressey Mills, and George Baker, the paymaster, rides to town for the weekly payroll. On his way back he pauses to eat his lunch, when the white bulldog, apparently homeless, comes up to him and wags his tail pleadingly as he watches Baker dispose of a sandwich. Baker feeds the dog, then lays down to sleep, his head on the saddlebags containing the money. When Baker prepares to leave he mounts his horse without the bags and though the dog protests and tries to attract Baker's attention, the latter is blind to the hint. In order to frighten the dog away Baker fires his gun, intentionally at the ground, but wounds the animal. Baker then rides on and the dog limps painfully back to the tree to guard the saddlebags. Not until Baker reaches the mills is he aware of his loss. Then turning his horse and followed by the mill owner, he returns to the tree, where they find the wounded dog, still on guard. "Old Fidelity," it is needless to say, is nursed back to health and given a home for life.
