with the intention of biting her. The
tushes of the dogs upper jaw fixed them
selves in the flesh on either side of her nose
and lacerated it deeply and for a consider
able length. DR.. Munger was called anC

nose and one stitch on the other side

possible that the dog did not intend to be
vicious as he has always been very docile

my stock of single and double harness, whips
summer blankets, etc, and will offer them a
