"Postmaster General John Wanamaker was one of Owney's fans. When he learned that the dog's collar was weighed down by an ever-growing number of tags, he gave Owney a jacket on which to display the "trophies. "On April 9, 1894, a writer for the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported that 'Nearly every place he stopped Owney received an additional tag, until now he wears a big bunch. When he jogs along, they jingle like the bells on a junk wagon.' "Each time Owney returned home to Albany, the clerks there saved the tags."
