Year Tuat Visited The Jim Dog Museum

When I listen to the song 'The Miraculous Jim', sung by duos Cathy Barton and Dave Para, about a dog, I'm really fascinated with its stories. And then once again I dart my backpack to find out about Jim.

From the story of the miraculous Jim ..

.
The Jim dog was born from a purebred hound in Louisiana. But his attempts to train Jim in this predatory field seemed meaningless when he was "knocked over" the first time he appeared in the field, so boss Sam turned him to another field: mallet stealing. was shot down by the owner for me
And he was right when Jim proved to be an amazing swamp hound with a talent for sniffing.




Jim stopped the record back then with about 5,000 wild birds being brought back to their owners, a number no other dog has ever reached that Outdoor Life Magazine named Jim as "The hunting dog of the country".

However, Jim is not just a champion hound anymore since VanArsdale randomly discovered while out in the yard that he could understand what his master was saying to him and carry out commands. mine.
It was a hot day, when Mr VanArsdale said, "Let's go over to the other side and rest under the oak tree, man!".




Even though he was in a forest with a variety of trees, Jim was able to walk under the oak tree and rest. Surprised by this, he asked Jim to find a walnut, then a cheese bar, then a stick and a box of food that he made very quickly and perfectly.
This is the beginning of the miracles that the dog has done to his master's orders. After that, when asked, Jim can go out into the street and find a car by model, color, state sign or license plate.
From a crowd, on his own, he could choose "furniture sellers", "caregivers", or "tourists from Kansas City".

In 1935, Jim performed at the Kemmerer Hotel in the city of Kemmerer (Wyoming). After a successful performance, an article written in the "Gazette of Kemmerer" magazine on Friday, August 30, 1935, reported on this performance and mentioned Jim as a god. period in life.



And the name "Jim the wonder dog" (Jim the wonder dog) was born from there.
Go to Jim's museum and other places
Located on the old N.Lafayette street of Marshall City (Missouri), the Jim Dog Museum is nestled and looks quite old because it is a classified but still privately run, under the Everyone's contribution to the fund “Friends of Jim the wonder dog”.
But when inside, visitors still feel as if Jim still exists through the articles stored and on display, through the red shirt that the girl still kept from the previous century left when the boss. Quiz Jim finds a girl in red in the crowd or souvenirs with his name and image.
I notice well-preserved 1935 books about Jim or the story of Harold Hausam, who volunteered relentlessly to bring the story of Jim to the whole country.

the dog Jim
Opening the door on the side of the museum, I headed to the dog Jim memorial garden, built in 1998 in the northwest corner of the town square, the same old address of the Ruff Hotel, where Jim lived with his owner. mine is also the hotel manager.
Right in the middle of the garden is a bronze statue of Jim that looks both arrogant with its tail raised to the blue sky and solemnly with eyes staring forward as if not letting any wild bird escape.
This is the place most tourists photographed when coming to Marshall City, according to the museum guide. And that probably does not make me doubt at all.
I drove into Ridge Park cemetery looking for Jim's grave, but among thousands of graves with many different areas, it was not easy.
Until he met Mike, an elderly local running jogging, he set aside his exercise to take me along the trail to where Jim rested.




He added emotionally: “Jim died on his birthday March 18, 1937 in an accident while hunting with his owner at Orzark Lake. He is buried in the cemetery of the city marked under a grave stone and is probably the only animal in the human cemetery.
There were many people coming to see off, send wreaths to visit as well as local newspapers or from Kansas City, St Louis in the state to Ontario of Canada to report. More than 500 calls, condolences and emails were sent to the boss.
This is probably the most visited tomb here and rarely have flowers and coins on it to commemorate Jim.

I heard the story as I took a coin from my pocket and put it on Jim's grave, with desire.
