THE "CHRISTADELPHIAN DOG"

In Brother Roberts' Diary of a Voyage to Australia, p. 157 there is a cute entry about a "Christadelphian Dog":

"Wednesday, April 15, to Saturday, April 18th - These days spent in similar manner; embracing two lectures in the New Trades Hall, on Russia and Britain. Made the acquaintance of what is called "The Christadelphian dog," an animal that attends all the meetings, whether public or private, and knows all the places of resort, and all the brethren: behaves well, curling himself demurely under chairs or tables at the proper times, and saluting friends with a wag of his tail.

He trotted before us on the homeward journeys with becoming gravity. He would be an example to some dogs with two legs."
