Owney the Dog - Mascot of the Railway Mail Service

postcardcollector.org — Owney was a stray mutt who wandered into the Albany, New York, post office in 1888. The clerks let him stay, and he fell asleep on some mailbags. Owney was attracted to the texture or scent of the mailbags and followed them when they were placed on a Railway Mail Service train. Dec 29, 2009 View in Crawl 4
