they had nothing else to do. Then there were
certain dogs that always bArked whom they
heard another dog bark. A good dog never
parked unless It had good occasion to bark.
SICK dogs howled. II q good dog had a stom-
och ache, 1t would howl. The majority of the
dogs complained Of by Mr.. Thompson were good
