With Kristi Noem out at DHS, I am featuring bank notes with vignettes of good dogs. The first has a dog guarding a safe and the second (in German for the local PA community) has a lumberjack petting his companion. Omaha & Chicago Bank, NE, $2, May 1, 1861 and Lumbermens Bank, Warren, PA, $10, 18--.
