[ Blanchard / The Four Corners Abroad ]
This children's book, one of a series of novels about the Corner family's four sisters, features only one metaphorical mention of Newfoundlands, which appears when one of the main child characters in this book greets her aunt with a very vigorous hug:
"What are you talking about, you catapult. You have nearly knocked the breath out of me, you great big Newfoundland dog trying to be a terrier pup. You forget I am not your superior in size if I am in years. Let me get off my hat and give me breathing space, then tell me what the excitement is."
