Framed Print of The Southsea and Ryde Collecting Dog "Brake", 1883. Creator: Unknown
The Southsea and Ryde Collecting Dog "Brake", 1883. Our Illustration of "the Unpaid Collector" is from a photograph by Mr. F. N. Broderick. [Brake] is a well-known public character on the steam-boat pier at Southsea...[He] belongs to Mr. Curtiss, a furniture-remover...This dog...was falsely accused...of having attempted to bite a boy. The [previous owner] was persuaded to give up her dog to be killed, when Mr. Curtiss heard of it, and disbelieving the dog's guilt, saved Brake's life. He took the dog away to the Isle of Wight, where, on account of its remarkable intelligence, docility, and aptitude to learn almost any kind of trick, it became a great favourite. Mr. Curtiss decided to provide for it a brass collar and box, and set it to work on the boats and pier to collect small amounts to relieve cases of sickness or misfortune that arose, through accident, in connection with the joint railway service at Ryde or Portsmouth...in thirty-one weeks...it collected £31 7s. 6d...The money has been given to the fund for widows and children bereaved, and for railway servants disabled by accidents, to the widows and children of seamen, and to seamen disabled or sick, the Shipwrecked Mariners Society, the Isle of Wight Infirmary, and Portsea Hospital'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
