Pup Aids Pilot in Take-off
“Slipstream,” the intelligent dog shown above, superintends his master’s take-offs from the Coast Guard air base at Floyd Bennett Field, New York City. At a signal from Lieut. Charles Tighe, he yanks away the wheel chocks for a take-off.
Didn’t Buster Brown have a dog named Tighe?

Looks like a Grumman G-21 Goose.
Looks like Jake Cutter and his Jack-Russell-terrier Jack from “Tales of the Gold Monkey”.

Until one day, he got flattened like a pancake on the tarmac.
