Gratuitous leftovers [yes, I'll be bidding]

Chicago Kennel Club, 1902.

They didn't get chosen for the Nitwit post, but here are a few more pieces of visual material [as the historians call it] that happen to be on eBay at the moment. I should get a commission. Kidding -- links to sellers are under each photo:

Basket o' pups. Last week this seller sold the cute photo below.

Note flying saucer in background.

Sit up, boy.

And another shot of the railroad surveyors with their dog:

The men of Deadwood.

I see an "eBay photo of the week" in this blog's future, yikes. This will have to be all for now. Two more wonderful photos from the same seller [and I think it's the same dog]:

Best buds.

"I am on a sandy beach..."

From the comments section, below:

Just want to note that portrait of the baby and the pittie on the ground can also be seen in "The Best Dog in the World" by Donna Long. All types of breeds, but some nice pit bull pictures, too, and the author notes how pit bulls were very popular family dogs.

Thanks for the heads-up! I've ordered a copy.
