main OF art. All who have seen Sir
Edwin I.andseers great pictures will
know how much human intelligence can
be expressed in the face Of dog. His
picture entitled Laying down the Law
will not be forgotten in considering the
dog as a litigant..
THUS the dog has figured In mythology,
history. poetry. fiction. and art from the
earliest times down to the present. and
now in these closing days Of the nine
teenth century we are called upon to de-
eide whether a dog is wild animal
(ferae naturae) in such sense as not to
be leviable property: or, IL he Is domes-
tic animal (domitae naturae) whether he
is not subject to levy, on the ancient
theory that he had no intrinsic value II
he was not good to eat.
Originally, all the animals which are
now, used by man were wild. One after
another they have become domesticated,
and subject to his control. ownership,
and use. AS time progressed, they grad
ually lost their character Of wilder
ness, and became more and more re-
garded as ordinary property. At this day
no one would contend that the horse
was not the subject of absolute property
because his ancestors were originally
wild, and the same may be said Of other
animals now thoroughly recognized ~ do
