go live with the Nakhla Dog! ;-)

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Finding Dog in West Texas
Hi all.
I'm
heading home in the morning with a bag full of meteorites. Ok, it's a
small
bag but I'm happy. I got 6 complete individuals and a fractured
specimen.
I interviewed some of the locals as well as hunters and should
have at
least a couple of good stories/videos!
I'm not sure (nor is anyone else)
why the dog decided to pick up the
meteorite. However, the owners gladly
wrote out a nice little story about
how it happened and for everyone dying
to know, the meteorite found by the
dog was purchased by my friend Rob
Wessel.

Hi Frank,
Funny story. Thanks
for sharing.
BTW, I just re-read your article on in Meteorite on
Braunau. Interesting detective work.

Hi Rubin and all,
One hundred and fifty years ago, a stone fell
in
Bethlehem, New York on August 11 that also involved a
meteorite
finding dog, apparently not as well trained as the
West, Texas dog. C.U.
Shepard wrote:
³Mr. Vanderpool was at work near his house,
and
heard the explosion in common with other members of his
family.
About two minutes after, as it appeared to him, a
stone, coming in an
oblique course, struck the side
of a wagon house, glanced off, hit a log
upon the
ground, bounded again, and rolled into the grass. A dog
lying
in the doorway of the wagon house sprang up, darted
out and seized it, but
dropped it immediately, probably on
account of its warmth and sulphurous
small.²
And of course there's the story about the dog that
found
the Lost City meteorite in January, 1970. Must have
been too heavy to
carry so he just marked it,
probably so he could find it again. ;-)
Cheers,
Frank

There is indeed a
meteorite finding dog!
Here's the story. On Friday Sonny, Steve
Arnold
and I drove into the strewn
field bright and early and
immediately started
knocking on doors to try to gain
permission to
hunt. Upon walking up to a particular
house Sonny spotted a
meteorite
on the porch (about 70-90 grams) he picked
it up, and laid it back
down. Ruben, did you see that fully crusted
meteorite on the porch?
He Said. I couldn't believe it. He was right!
Right there on the porch
but
no one was home...what to do? Since Sonny assured me
that he
wasn't going to
buy meteorites when he could find them I decided to
track down the owner and try
to buy the specimen.
I got the
owners work phone number from a neighbor and
called. After
introducing
myself and explaining what I was in town
for, I told the owner that
there was a meteorite on their porch. What, you
mean that black rock
that
the dog brought up and dropped on the porch?
Yes, that one
I
said.
Needless to say, I drove down and did a nice video
interview with the owner
holding the space rock and recalling the
tale.
