Bob & Victor on the Shore
View of Charles Coombs' horse "Bob" & and his dog "Victor" at the Shore. Bob was one of Coombs' favorite horses as was Victor, his favorite dog. Republican Journal article dated 4/1/1897: Victor, the well-known dog owned by Charles Coombs met with a bad accident Thursday of last week. He was standing in the delivery wagon when the horse started, throwing him backward to the ground and breaking his right foreleg. The break was a bad compound fracture and will spoil Vic's summer outing.
