Just Nuisance was a Great Dane who was officially adopted by the South African Navy in the 1940s and given the title of Able Seaman Just Nuisance. He used to accompany the sailors to Cape Town on the train, and see them safely home after a night of drinking and carousing. This life-sized statue of him by Jean Doyle can be found on Jubilee Square in Simon's Town. For more jolly "j"s, visit ABC Wednesday.

Oh my goodness. My Mum and Dad used to live in Fishoek in the 1950s they had a Rhodesian Ridgback called Nuisance!! My Dad was there serving with the British Royal Navy.

ReplyDeleteJust Nuisance along with Jock of the Bushveld must be South Africa's two best known dogs. And they both start with "J".
