Jay Altman of Columbia, S.C., easily identified Brownie, a town dog of Daytona Beach, Fla. He wrote: “Owned by no one but loved by all, Brownie was a short-haired brown and white stray dog who lived in Daytona Beach, in the 1940s and 1950s. This beloved dog was so popular and well looked after he would be mentioned in numerous magazines and newspapers, receive Christmas presents and cards, have his own bank account, and receive visitors from all over the United States. When he passed away from old age in 1954, Daytona Beach citizens laid him to rest with a proper burial and gravestone and had a memorial made for him. Over 70 years later, Brownie still holds the heart of locals, and attracts visitors from all over.”
Help! We lost the name of who sent in the photo.
Also recognizing the mystery were Kay Montgomery, Duluth; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Virginia Klaer, Duluth; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas.
