Original Toronto Star caption: Watchdog to Guard Quints. The Dionne quintuplets may be forbidden by Dr. Alan Roy Dafoe to play with Tony, the dog shown here with Provincial Officer Robert Purvis. The Great Dane was acquired to help guard the Dionne nursery. The only dogs they have been permitted to play with so far were ones brought along by a Hollywood motion picture company for a quintuplet picture. Each dog at that time was thoroughly scrubbed and disinfected.
