| Message | Dear Mr. Snow, I know know about your father's German Shepard dog, Pal. Well, my grandfather Herb Ellis from Bathurst NB owned Pal and one day Hank came by "Pa's" farm and bought him. I think he was actually my Aunt Louise's dog, and he was bad tempered. However, Hank showed no fear of him, and Pal took to Hank right away. I am guessing that this happened in the 1930's. He (Hank) wrote about Pal in the biography book he wrote and he mentioned the farmer who sold the dog to him although not by name. The book has a picture of Pal, I think. Like your father, I have spent the vast majority of my adult life in the US, but I did grow up in Janeville NB, next door to the farm that Hank visited and where he purchased Pal.
