Not just man's best friend, but a family's best friend. Queenie was a joy to the Anderson family and a constant companion to the little ones. During the depression of the 1930s any help to feed a family was greatly needed, especially with a family of 9 children. A huge garden was always planted for the family use with many radishes, onions, etc., also sold to town folk. Queenie was more than just a family pet she was a scavenger. One story about Queenie tells of her penchant for bringing home things other people left on their porches. Occasionally she would bring home a dish of food left to cool and it was then necessary to try to locate the owner of the dish. One time Queenie came home with an entire pound of butter. The wrapper was barely dented with teeth marks!
