EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from 1913 showcases a remarkable scene of ingenuity and compassion. In the image, we see a stretcher mounted on four wheels being pulled by a loyal dog, serving as an essential mode of transportation in times of medical emergencies. The English photographer beautifully captures this heartwarming moment that highlights the crucial role animals play in providing aid and support. The significance of this image lies not only in its historical context but also in its representation of the bond between humans and animals. As part of the red cross service, these "chiens sanitaires" or medical dogs were trained to assist during emergencies, offering their strength and agility to transport injured individuals through busy streets. The photo exudes a sense of urgency with its depiction of bustling city life as pedestrians curiously observe this unique sight. It serves as a testament to the dedication shown by those involved in emergency services at that time. Through his lens, the photographer immortalizes this extraordinary collaboration between man and canine companion – an alliance that continues to be cherished today. This print is not just an exquisite piece capturing history; it is also a reminder of our reliance on animals for their unwavering loyalty and invaluable contributions within society's most challenging moments.
