PET DOG USES TOBACCO

People who assert that tobacco will
kill a dog, horse or pig will be sur
prised to learn that the pet Boston
terrier owned by F. H. Smith of Nor
way Me, chews tobacco and enjoys
it together with an abundance of good
health. The dog is a finely bred ami
NAL, and does a number of tricks.
He has used tobacco several years.
One day when Mr. Smith threw away
a "quid" he was greatly surprised to
see his pet pick it up and swallow It.
Fearing that the dog would suffer he
made an effort to remove the tobacco
from its stomach, but without avail.
The dog showed no i'll effects from
use of the weed" and watched Mr..
Smith when he placed another chew"
in his mouth. Wien this was thrown
away the dog seized it. as before and
then began strange habit that has
lasted several years. Inseparable COM
panions, the dog and his master en-
joy many hours together and the dog
barks happily when his accustomed
allowance of tobacco is thrown to him.
The dogs special pleasure is when his
master will cut bit of un-chewed to-
bacco from the plug for his benefit.
