Subject: Pet labrador 'knew train timetable' dies

A dog which made headlines around the world after he lost his owner and caught the right train home has died.
Archie the labrador became separated from owner Mike Taitt in 2005, so the impatient dog boarded the train at Inverurie in Aberdeenshire.
Archie got off the train when it stopped at Insch and was spotted by a signalman, who contacted his owner.
Mr Taitt said of Archie's death at the age of 13: "It's very sad. He was a great friend and a great character."
The story of Archie's solo train journey was retold around the world.
Neither fellow passengers nor railway staff realised that the black labrador was unaccompanied.
