Scope and content
In this photograph from August of 1936, Dolores Hansen sits on the wooden steps of her home next to her mother cat who is nursing five motherless puppies. The mamma cat protectively shields her charges from the photographer. The cat took over as the mother to the litter of puppies when their real canine mother was poisoned. The mother cat had recently given birth to a single kitten. (T. Times 8/18/1936 p.1)
