How a Beggar's Dog Grows to b

How a Beggar's Dog Grows to BE
Like His Master.
"One of the most curious traits to be
found in the animal nature said an
observant citizen, sis that which grows
out of the unconscious imitativeness Of
creatures of the lower order. | have
observed many instances of where the
creatures of lower order have taken
on the characteristics in some notice
able degree of members of the human
family. One might know, for instance,
the beggar's dog from the look of the
dog, from the droop of the eye, the pa
thetic hang of the lip and a certain gen
eral air of dependency and hopeless
ness which seems to speak in the very
nature of the animal. l mention the
beggar's dog because 1t is O familiar
example. The beggar's dog never looks
cheerful, never smiles never frolics,
but simply sits by his master and
broods and begs for whatever charity
may give.
81 have seen the dog character mold
ed under happier influences, and the
dog became more cheerful. He was a
light hearted, free and easy sort of
creature and seemed to get something
of the SUMMER side of things. | am al
most tempted to say that if you will
show me a mans dog | will tell you
what manner of man the owner is,
with particular reference to tempera-
ment and his moods. The melancholy
man, the man who groyels mentally
along the gloOmier groves, the peSSi-
mistic man who is always looking at
the dark side of the picture, all the men
who come within these unhappy CLASH
fications rarely own a cheerful dog
The dog unconsciously takes to the
ways of the master and in his moods
initiates the masters way of thinking.
'But turn to the dog of the jolly,
cheerful fellow. Watch him show his
proaches. He is darling across the
yard and dancing and frisking around
the masters feet in the happiest way
imaginable, and he is up to all kinds of
pranks and does all kinds of little
things to indicate the good nature that
is in him. He does as his master does
and seems to take the same general
view of life. These are small things, l
guess, but they show just how impor-
tant ones way of thinking may infiu-
ence ones dog and change his whole
view of life."-New Orleans Times
