The ..Bunjara," . dog from twsnty.
four 10 twsnty-eigM inches In height
at The shoulders. B. beyond description
the most fsrocious q all the breods Of
dog that I have ever known. He ID,
like his master, . born villain. No
coaxing or Establishments avail with
him; be win tear and rend his best
friend, and will devour his s'sistsrs, his
cousins or his aunts'' with impunity.
I say like his master, a. the only per-
sons who own "Bunjaras" ore tho
criminal Tribes, and principally the
.'Bunjara" tribe. Now, the ''Bunjara"
people, BY their caste. are born rogues
and vagabonds. and the more evil they
can do, the more wrongs they can COM
NIT. the softer their bed and the more
pleasurabls their lifc In valhalls when
they die. which many say they seldom
do-naturally. The "Bunjara" dog IL
like this, only more 10. He is cum
ming fox, an Unsuitable hater. . con.
summate villain, yet he has some good
points. He can and will hold out to
the last gasp; he never tires, and to
one and only one does he ever give
allegiance. and to him he sticks. OF
women he 10 . despiser. regarding
them a. his master does-only Is .
''means to an end" In color he Is
dark brown or gray. shading to black;
his coat 10 close, like Q mastiffs, but
tufted on the elbows and hooks, and
feathered down inside Of the fore-legs;
his tail 10 carried low except when ex-
cited, aud has good deal Of brush,
especially at the tip; his ears are fat
to the head, and only slightly raised
on occasion.
He Il used exclusively for hunting and
only by natives-never BY Europeans.
The "Polygar" is larger dog than the
''Bunjara, standing from twenty.seven
inches to thirty-one inches at the
shoulder. he ID not 10 ferocious, either.
but has equally good pluck. and never
gives in alive. In color he IL blush
gray or dark gray. He is almost bare
OF hair, except ON his head, which 10
covered with . iine coat, as sleek and
soft as . mole's. He has bristles all
over his body like pig. and, in fact,
his skin much resembles that Of dark
colored pig. His tail is fine, like a
greyhound's, and he has more or less Of
greyhound ears. For hunting purposes
and as . guard he is excellent and
more reliable than the "Bunjara, moi
having such spice Of tho devil in him.
He Is used both by natives and Euro
peans, and principally for hunting the
tiger and panther. He is most faithful
to his master, and capable Of being
trained to many useful purposes.
There is another breed of dogs which
combines the blood Of all aud sundry.
He seems to have got the character Of
very bad fellow, for II you want ia
annoy . man you can not do it better
than by calling his dog . "Junglee
dog" In many cases his tail is long.
6ne and curls like . coil Of rope; In
some he 10, like the Maux cat minus.
A man I knew had an English terrier,
and also tied up in his hut . '.Bun-
jara." One day . shikara from the
country reviled the terrier. "Hal hav'
said he. "Junglse. Junglee dog"
':Hol ho!' said "Bunjara" man. 'Hol
hor' "You wait" He darted in and
fetched the "Bunjara, who immedi-
atsly set on the shikara with the utmost
ferocity. This man for years had the
marks Of the struggle. Having been at
last torn from his human victim he set
on to and in five seconds killed the ter.
rier, tho cause Of al the row, which
having done he bolted with him In his
mouth out Of the village and into the
Jungle, never to return. -Ksaper.
