The man who owns the bark
ing dog is a lover neither of ami
mails nor of his fellow-man. II
he loved his dog he would not
leave him out all night to enrage
the community. He would be
too fearful of "dog-buttons" or
even a revolver in the hands of
a desperate victim of insomnia.
If he really cared for his pet. he
would not subject him to such
risk of injury or sudden death.
