of folklore connected with the dog, to
which we can only incidentally allude.
Thus, in Ireland, it is considered unlucky
to meet dog barking early in the morn
ing; and, on the other hand, just as for
tunate for one to enter house the first
thing in the day. They are commonly
said to possess wonderful instinct for
discerning character, generally avoiding
ill-tempered persons, and making friends
with any stranger who happens to be of
kind and cheerful disposition. The life
of dog is sometimes said to be bound
up with that of its master or mistress.
When either dies the other cannot live.
1t is curious that this faithful companion
of man should have become term of re-
proach, and be used by most Of oar old
writers. Thus we find various phrases
such as dog's-bolt," dog's-face,"
"dogs-leach," 'dog-trick, etc., all of
which were intended to conway the idea
of contempt.
