The little dog under the wagon
Spot ne'er barked. and Spot ne'er whned,
But quickly caught the thief behind
He dragged him down In the rnire and dirt
And tore his coat and tore his shirt,
Then held him fast on the miry ground
The robher uttered not sound
While his hands yhd feet the farmer bound
And tumbled him into the wagon.
SO Spot he saved the farmers life
The farmers money. the farmers wife;
And now n hero grand end CAV.
silver collar he wears to-day;
Among his friends. among his foes,
And everywhere his master goes,
He follows on his horny toes,
Tho little dog under the wagon.
