Scope and content
In September of 1944, despite the shortage of gasoline due to the war and without the use of a single ration coupon, 16 month old Michael Morris Anderson was travelling in style. Pulling the boy's stroller was his grandfather's rare Drahthaar hunting dog, known as Max Von Lohenberg. Max was one of a handful of German bred Drahthaars in the US in 1944. Grandfather W.F. Kerr was also on hand to supervise the excursion. Mr. Kerr said that Max was the smartest bird dog he ever trained; in addition to flushing and retrieving birds, Max learned the start and stop commands and how to pull little Michael in just one lesson. (T. Times, 9/21/44, p. 1).
