FOR DOG OWNERS AND OTHERS.

Dogs and cats have been seriously
hurt by forcing their heads into
empty cans that have contained fish,
meat or soup. Sometimes they are
not able to free themselves. Their
terror is pitiable, and if not found,
they may run into some hiding
place and die a miserable death. It
would be easy to see that can when
emptied is pounded out of shape so
that no animal can get its head into
it. To do this might save great
neutrality-suspicious. and Helpers.
Be sure to place a dish of fresh
water where your dog and cat can
easily reach it. Dogs and cats often
suffer for lack of fresh water.
