02-Weird Lit Tales: Lord Byron and his dog

Did you know that Lord Byron was a great animal lover? He even had a small zoo, although he had a special fondness for dogs. In fact, you can still visit the tomb of his dog, Boatswain. It is said that during a sea voyage, Byron was traveling with his dog when it accidentally fell overboard. Lord Byron begged the captain to stop the ship, but the captain replied that he wouldn’t do it for a dog. 'And for a man?' Byron asked. 'For a man, yes,' the captain responded. Then, Byron jumped into the sea, and both he and the dog were rescued.
