Susan--

Are you sure it's Hartford?  I've seen photos of the family in Elmira with a large dog, who belonged to the Cranes, if memory serves.  

No doubt, someone with more authoritative knowledge will weigh in.

Subject: Query

Dear All,

This is a query re the photograph of Twain, Livy, and the girls outside the=
 Hartford house, sometime in the 80s, I assume.  They are sitting on the st=
eps of the veranda and there is a large dog stretched out in front of them.=
  I would like to know a little bit about the dog.  Did it belong to the Cl=
emens family?  Name? Breed?  Anyone know?

Many thanks. --susan harris
