Tom had an ex police German Sheperd dog called Prince .It was well trained and every day it would bring Tom's lunch box to him wherever he was in the mine. One day a new manager came to work in the quarry, he was making his way along one of the underground levels when the dog came towards him. He was quite frightened and thought that it was a wolf underground. He felt rather foolish when they explained to him about Tom's dog. Tom was Julia Gunn's grandfather.
