The title points to a dog reaching into a kit for bandages, a scene that sets this picture apart from ordinary portraits of working dogs. The title came from unverified notes that the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card, and no date is recorded. Dogs that carried first-aid supplies to wounded soldiers were used by several armies during the First World War, and a news agency photograph like this would have helped show that work to the public at the time.
