The Old Brown Dog

It's great to have an original copy of a publication written about such an historic episode in our movement's history so soon after the event.
A recent acquisition the Grumpy Vegan made to the Kim W. Stallwood Animal Rights Collection is a copy of The Brown Dog and his Memorial by Edward K. Ford published by the Animal Defence and Anti-Vivisection Society in 1908.

What became known as the Old Brown Dog is the story of a dog who became the subject of a lawsuit when he was repeatedly used in experiments in London in 1903.

To cut a long story short a statue was erected in memory of the

Brown Terrier Dog done to Death in the Laboratories of University College in February 1903, after having endured Vivisection extending over more than two months and having been handed from one Vivisector to another till Death came to his Release. Also in Memory of the 232 dogs vivisected at the same place during the year 1902. Men and Women of England, how long shall these things be?
