Sport: Ship Dog of the Great Lakes
A stray dog wanders the Milwaukee docks until he realizes his calling-to be a ship dog! After being rescued from the Milwaukee River, Sport lives on the lighthouse tender ship, the Hyacinth. He helps the crew as they deliver supplies. Over time Sport becomes popular among the lighthouse tenders' families, and crew members of other ships. He even joins the crew's baseball team! I love history & dogs and this tale has both!
