************************
Dominic Spina was Director of the Newark Police Department in 1968, when unknown assailants tried to end his life. He survived because of his dog, Nero, and good luck.
On July 23 Spina was in his home when he became the target of a shotgun blast from outside his house. Just as the blast ripped into his house, Spina stooped down to put a leash on his dog. That move saved his life.
Spina is pictured above with his dog - Nero. An "8 x 10 News Photo" was recently acquired, and has become a part of the collection, focusing on Newark, NJ. The back of the picture reveals News Office Notes (including reference to Grand Jury). I have a few 8x10's of various subjects. They make a nice display and compliment my badges. I often bring them to shows.
