There are pubs in Preston where you can call for a drink and be served by a little black dog called "Jet". "Jet" belongs to Jimmy Gainer, a professional rat-catcher. Her master has trained her to pour out a bottle of beer as neatly as a life-member of the Bartenders' Guild. And if you put down a note, "Jet" will take it over to the till and come back with your change. Mind you, the dog isn't perfect. She ***** can't play "Nellie Dean" on an old ***** for those who want to sing towards ***** the evening. And you can't tell ***** like you can a barmaid. February 27, 1953.
