Hunger. however, knows no law. and
canine and feline butcher shops were
opened in different parts of Paris.
Skillfully prepared, properly skinned
and cooked, with good sauce, the
dogs proved excellent eating. Their
meat was pink and delicate and by no
means tough. Canine outlets were
sold at . francs each. and leg of dog
might be purchased at double that
price a pound

were very fond. But a day came when
there was nothing to eat in the house.
