Sept. 27, 1951
Oakland, Calif.-U.P.-Shinola, a little black dog of uncertain ancestry, gave his life to save his mistress yesterday.
Shinola began barking when he smelled smoke in the bedroom of their apartment until his mistress, Dorothy Moore, 39, awoke. The bedroom was a mass of flames.
Mrs. Moore ran into the upstairs hall and roused other tenants in the building. Then she returned to her own apartment but was unable to find the dog. She fled with first and second degree burns.
The dog’s body was found between the inner and outer walls of the apartment, where the flames had burned a hole.
