Ironically I was cleaning and came across this #postcard I picked up from @highgate_cemetery in #London. The back reads: #TomSayers (1826-65), the bare-knuckle prize #fighter with his #dog called 'Lion'.

For some the love of their dog goes to the grave and even beyond. This is the grave of Tom Sayers (d. 8 November 1865) buried in Highgate Cemetery (London), his tomb guarded by the stone image of his mastiff, Lion, who was chief mourner at his funeral.
