By Dan Hobby, Pompano Beach Historical Society

Beginning in the first decade of the 20th century, Pompano’s popula- tion expanded as seasonal labor was brought down from northern Florida and Georgia, and a small permanent population of farm workers were es- tablished here. These laborers constituted the beginning of Pompano's black community.

The coming of the railroad to South Florida in 1896 created an opportunity for Bahamian immigrants. In point of fact, throughout the 19th century both black and white Bahamians had treated southern Florida, particu- larly the Keys, very much as an extension of the island the 1920s and 1930s), it was not at all chain. uncommon for the husbands and older boys to “scout” out the area first.

Trade Winds • April 2011 Animal Zone: Lost Dogs ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||||

Recently, we received what seemed like a routine lost dog call. The resident, James Veach, called on a Thursday to report that his Jack Russell, Tucher, un- expectedly jumped out of his car near Federal Highway and Copans Road.

The man had given Tucher, as a puppy, to his girlfriend 11 years ago. His girlfriend recently passed away and asked James to place her beloved dog’s remains with hers when the dog passed away. This was a very important request that he desired to fulfill.

When our Animal Control Officer David Aycock took the call, he recommended distributing flyers in the area as soon as possible and advised him to check the animal shelter. Our division had not re- ceived a report of this dog found.

The flyers resulted in a tip from another Jack Russell owner who had lost her dog. She had checked with a local groomer who thought they may have found her dog, but when she went there, the Jack Russell was not her dog. She advised Mr. Veach that this groomer may have his dog. When he arrived at the groomer, the dog had already been passed on to By Jason Soldini, Animal Control Officer someone else.
