What an absurd as well as bsrbarous
act to cut off dogs tail lou might just as
well cut out bis tongue. In fact, a dog talks
far less with his tongue than he does with
his tail. With his tail. dog expresses not
only gratitude. as Fido did, but hope, en-.

of his tail, you deprive him of an organ OF
speech.-[Blackwood.
