A Kid and His Dog
thecircusblog | September 23, 2008
Blackie was my friend. She was more than a pet. We played together in the back yard of the Yankee Patterson Circus. In the early 1940’s. I remember that my dog and I were inseparable. Blackie worked in my Mothers dog act and when the act was over she was with me.
