PET DOGS ARE TATTooED.
Fashionable Fad That Will DoubtIess

a decidedly novel occupation which
has OF late been noticed is that OF
tattooing the names Of their owners
upon dogs, says the Baltimore Ameri-
can. Several months ago there ap-
peared in northwest Baltimore young
man who is engaged in that pursuit
and during the time he remained here
he did good business. Among the
dogs which underwent the operation
is pretty little fox terrier belonging
to Charles II. Wohrna, which rejoices
in the name of Booze, and fine bred
bull terrier, Jip, the property OF the
Chesapeake Brewing Company. Both
animals bear upon their breasts,
where the hair grows thinnest, the
names of their respective owners.
Contrary to the belief of some that
the operation is a cruel, painful one,
those who have seen it performed de-
clare that the animals apparently ex-
perienced very little pain. The oper-
alton lasts about fifteen minutes. The
animal is usually held by two men,
one having hold of the hind legs,
while the other holds the front paws.
With set of very fine needles the OPP
orator then goes to work, deity prick
ing the letters into the skin, just deep
enough to draw few drops of blood
Then he pours the Indian ink all over
the wounds, or, rather, scratches, and
the operation is over. In few weeks
the sores are completely healed and
the animal bears during the remain
der of its existence an unmistakable
mark of identification The price OF
the operation is SO cents.
