lasts.
Different Angles
DR.. Richard oilyard, local VET
erinarian, said today that there
are many different angles TO the
case which the ordinary laymail,
In his enthusiasm, might over
look. In the first place, the young
animal doctor pointed out, there
10 nothing 70 assure the veterinar-
ian that the operation will al.
ways stop the dog from bark
ing.
I'VE have performed the opera
ton here several times" he said,
"ard about half the dogs have
learned 10 bark oil over again,
even after the vocal chords had
been cut. There are two ways Of
performing the operation: one 10
BY severing the chords and the
other Is by severing o nerve IN
the throat which controls the
chords. Neither Of these methods
had been proven TO be perfect
Always Yelpers
AS for mutation he contin-
ued, II do not believe such en-
operation can be classified ~
such. There are some dogs, no
matter how well trained, will
always be yelpers. In o crowded
neighborhood this becomes o null
sance and may be remedied only
by gilencing the dog. The opera
ton, incidentally, IL not painful
to the dog, 1t being necessary to
use q 100 percent anesthesiA, and
there are rarely any post-opera-
tive complications.
There Is one important point
TO be gotten across TO those peo-
pie who think that such an oper-
alton might render the dog an
absolute and somewhat pitiful
looking mute, moving about and
working his jaws without making
any kind Of noise. This is not 90.
No dog can be rendered q COM
plete mute case similar TO the
one stated above"
Protest Voiced
In Buffalo, where several hui
name and MISUNDERSTANDING So
ciety members raised q terrible
row over the operation on the
dog, II would seem that no vet
erinarian had been consulted In
connection with the matter. Per-
haps 1t would be best 10 assume.
in the light Of DR.. uiIyards nd
vice. and considering the great
objection TO The operation, that q
dog Is mans best friend but
not when he barks all through
the night and keeps the folks in
the next apartment awake.
