PAL AGE 4 LAMESA, TEXAS Collie Pal was my grandfather & my uncles dog. I found this old photo of them giving Pal a bath, and a small write up about him which reads."Billy (my uncle) and his uncle Philip picked out a puppy one day in 1951. The one they chose was Pal who made himself known by pulling on Billy's shoe laces. Pal turned out to be Billy's protector. When he was only a few years old our neighbor saw Pal keeping Billy off the Hi-way as they walked a long. Another time is when Billy was out in the pasture with the cows and the Bull (they lived on a farm), and all Billy carried with him was a stick and Pal was loyally right by his side." Companions are forever, and even though Pal died young his memory has lasted over 60 years, and will continue to for eternity. -GREG
