Trace Adkins Narrates Dog’s Tale For USPS
Trace Adkins is helping children learn more about Owney, a dog who played a real role in mail-service history. The free, downloadable book, “Owney: Tales From the Rails,” is available at the Postal Museum’s official website, www.postalmuseum.si.edu/owneyebook, and as an Apple iPad app. Trace reads the story and uses music to help bring to life the true adventures of Owney, who helped deliver mail in the U.S. and around the world. Owney became famous after he took up residence at the post office in Albany, New York. A postman named Clark adopted Owney, and all the other postal employees became his surrogate family. When Clark transferred to the rail post office, which transported letters and packages from town to town via the railroad, Owney went with him. Soon, the pooch was known at post office stops along the rail line as much as he was in his hometown of Albany. The story Trace narrates and sings includes Owney’s adventures in Canada and on a post office ship that took him around the world.
