Introduction
Dog Names Meaning Lake in Pop Culture
Our second pop culture spotlight is Swansea Jack, a black Retriever born in 1930 in Swansea, Wales. He lived in the North Dock/River Tawe area of Swansea with William Thomas, his master. In 1931, Jack jumped into the nearby river and saved the life of a 12 year old boy who was drowning. This incident was basically without witnesses and went unreported. While it seems amazing that this incident went unreported, it was only a few weeks later, the same situation presented itself again. This time, the distressed swimmer was rescued by Swansea Jack in the presence of a crowd of gawking bystanders. This incident was appropriately reported and Jack was presented with a silver collar for his actions. Swansea Jack became known for a number of similar rescues from the river, totalling 27 in all. In 1936, Jack was awarded the Bravest Dog of the Year by the London Star newspaper, he received a silver cup from the Lord Mayor of London and two bronze medals from the National Canine Defense League (currently known as Dogs Trust). In 1937, at an early age, Swansea Jack died from ingestion of rat poison, but he will always be remembered as the community erected a monument to his honor.
