Incredible rescue in Saint-Etienne (colour litho)

Incredible rescue in Saint-Etienne. A Flanders sheepdog, Costaud, was accompanying the blind master, when he saw a girl crossing the street while a truck was arriving. Costaud released himself from the master, leaped in the middle of the street, resting his paws on the shoulders of the child and pushing her away. The child was safe. The dog, hit by the fast vehicle, suffered serious injuries. The citizens immediately opened a subscription for the payment of the expenses necessary to cure the heroic beast in the clinic.
