Although “Swansea Jack" is a term often given to the residents of Swansea, it is believed by many, that the nickname is taken from a brave black Labrador Retriever of the same name.
Jack the dog was often found playing around Swansea Dock in the early 1930’s. The dangerous water attracted local children, who at times found themselves in the danger of drowning. Brave Jack, on seeing a child in danger would jump
into the murky waters and drag them to safety. With an estimated 27 rescues to his credit, Jack is thought of as a local hero.A place of remembrance is erected on the Swansea prom.
