When the 492 got to Mobile, the skipper. LCDR Ralph Newman, put out a plea through the newspaper that the crew would like to have a dog as a mascot. A couple of days later they received this Cocker Spaniel pup. I've talked to 5 different crew members of the 492, none of them can remember the pup's name, and all of them said that it was never destined to become an "Old Sea Dog" and either in Norfolk or Quonset Point RI, it got put ashore before they headed across the Atlantic for England in early 1944.
