The New York Times is an American daily newspaper which began publishing in 1851 and continues to this day. It has won more Pulitzer Prizes than any other newspaper, and has the 3rd-largest circulation in the United States.
This item about a heroic Newf appeared in the September 23, 1884, issue:
This story will circulate for some time, and apparently will cross the ocean a couple of times as well. This same incident is told, with less detail, in the Fancier's Journal of May 23, 1891 — and they will report the story as having come to them from another, "foreign" source. You can read this later version here at The Cultured Newf.
