Oakwood, Ohio, circa 1920.  Orville Wright, beyond all that aeroplane stuff, was something of an amateur photographer and dog lover. Here is his dog Scipio at his home, Hawthorn Hill. The Wright Brothers started building a home for themselves in 1912. Wilbur died of typhoid the same year, so when it was completed in 1914, Orville moved in with his sister Katherine and his father Milton. Milton, died in April,1917, so Orville and his sister decided to fill the emotional gap in their lives with a puppy, and so came Scipio, a St Bernard in 1917. -- source link
