rights of the poorest child or family
to nave a dog or other pets, without
unreasonable dictation from legis

the rights Of other people. There are
a few rich people and large land
owners who want no one should have
a dog. They have a right to their per-
sonal views, and to not keep a dog If
they see fit, but they have no right
to dictate to others in this matter.
The old sneer Of the poorest people
having the most dogs was complete
ly answered by the Saviour In the
parable of Lazarus and the rich man.
Lazarus was "a frined of dogs and in
his greatest poverty when abandoned
by all human beings, his dog stayed
with him and licked his sores, But
