Hey, Newfie!

I was born and raised in Placentia, Newfoundland and I now live in the USA. It was during my early days in Glenside, Pennsylvania that this funny thing happened. I was walking down the sidewalk when I heard a loud whistle followed by “Hey, Newfie!” I turned to see a stranger looking in my direction. Surprised by his shout and insulted by the term Newfie being used on me by a stranger, I thought to myself, “How rude!” Just then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a blur of fur approaching and watched it run past me. Then I laughed as I realized the man had been calling to his huge Newfoundland dog!

Great story and funny too. I am very proud to be called a Newfie. There's nothing like us and I love Newfoundland very much. No matter where you go you are bound to meet a Newfoundlander, isn't it just wonderful.
