!, An item appeared in this column a
couple of days ago stating that Prof.
Miett, who has a troupe of trained dogs
at the Majestic this week, would make
more of a hit if he did not treat the
dogs in such a brutal manner. Prof
Miett has been exhibiting dogs for
| years and declares that he has yet to
whip a dog The conclusion that he
was brutal with them was drawn from
the sharp, severe way he talks to them
while putting them through their tricks
GROSSLY to the dogs but says that he
does so to hurry them through with
| their tricks.
