Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 29 - Death has re-united two pals - a man and his dog.
Herman Benjamin, aged Atlanta druggist, and Jip, his pet rat terrier, were inseparable for more than 14 years and then death took Jip
Mr. Benjamin had a special copper casket constructed for Jip and his earthly remains were embalmed and kept in that casket at a local mortuary for the past two years.
Last week, Mr. Benjamin suffered a fatal heart attack, and when his body was lowered into the grave, the casket bearing Jip's body was lowered beside that of his master.
