DOGS as Draft Animals.

1t is curious that though the Anglo
Saxons are dog-loving people, we do
not use our dogs for draft purposes.
In the last century, as we have re-
corded, the Oldest postmaster used
dogs to draw the cart. And nowadays
the seaside knows the goat that draws
the baby chaise. But the dog, for
some obscure reason, is ruled out of
such service. Not that we neglect
his service in hunting, as Waterman
or as a detective. But he is no longer
asked to drag barrow as he is in
France, Belgium and Germany.
Yet so soon as an arctic expedition
Is planned the dog ia called in to pull
the sledge. says the London Graphic.
And you may notice the curious DIFF
ference between the northern dog
with the touch of the wolf still EVIL
dent) and the cultured dog Of the
London drawing room. Take the pug
out on chain and he hangs back.
But put chow-chow on q chain and
he pulls violently forward. His in.
stinct is to work against the collar.
1t is still something of a mystery why
the dog is not permitted to work for
his living between the shafts in Eng.
