SINGULAR ANIMAL FRIENDSHIP
Mr.. Adams, Of Van Shaiek is
land, says the Troy Press, is tht
possessor of a bay horse and black
Newfoundland dog, who have
formed a wonderful attachment
for each other. They are insepa
rable companions, and one is moi
easy if the other. is out Of sigh
for a moment. Whether in the
stable or the pasture the dog
sleeps with his equine friend. l.
the horse is harnessed the dog il
on the alert and follows wherever
driven, and when the horse stops
the dog is close at his head, and il
is a pleasure to witness them ex
change caresses. The horse vii
scratch the dogs back with bi!
teeth, which delights him greatly
and in return the horses face gets
a thorough smoothing from the
tongue Of the dog. Sometimes IN
sport the horse will seize the dog
by the nape of his neck with bis
teeth and raise him in the air, but
the dog does not whlmper, but re-
taliates by watching his opportu
nifty to give the ear Of the horst
a pinch with bis teeth. They vii
fight fer each other !wickedIy. i
