dog that lays about on the corners and
sleeps in doorways. He is black and
white shepherd, anu no one seems 10
know where he came from. nor where
he gets anything TO eat. He has many
friends and every one has kind word
and a pat for him, and he will come
up. rub his nose affectionately against
q PERSONS leg or hand, follow him a
short distance and then drop back and
wait for some other acquaintance.

meet sad fate If he does not stay of
