The Journal has frequently mentioned the
enemies of the doves about our streets, and
the many ways used to entrap them. The
birds have a new foe in a large dog, that
jumps into the air and catches the birds on
the wing. The doves are very tame and the
dog has no difficulty in bringing them down.
One man saw the dog catch two within a few
minutes. The canine leaves the birds half
dead in the street.
