cause we Dogs are too civilized to
get so mad with one another as to
engage in wars that would kill
thousands of Dogs and MAIN
thousands of others. OF course
we fuss sometimes, but the next
day We'll be dividing bones .
And another thing: We Dogs don't
do like Persons; we don't single
out one of the opposite breeds Of
Dogs and try to exterminate them
because God made them that way,
with maybe a longer or shorter
muzzle or some other unimportant
difference. With us q Dog is
