A Dog's S Life

He wasn't looking for everybody's at

Puppy number one was a fine pet
for child's dog, one that could be-
come part of the gang. he was ideal.
But puppy number two would attach
himself to one person and he would
be that persons dog and no others.
He was a "one-man dog" right from
the nest, and the man who got him
got all the dogs devotion.
Dog lovers who are not too we'll

1t is cheaper to dispose of the old dog
than board him for the summer There
are lots of cute little puppies always
available in the fall. What does it

1t is only a dog. kind of shop

cute little puppy cheap in the
fall.
Then there is the usual early sum-
mer influx of puppies that must be
disposed of in a hurry because the
dog days are coming. the puppies have
been having fits, and the rabies will
get you if you don't watch out" The
fact that rabies and dog days have no
connection and that rabies and fits
very seldom have any relationship

soaked people who make any excuse
an excuse to neglect the helpless ami

testinal worms. lice and feas, and a
lack of cool. fresh drinking water are
a combination that might give any,

the weather, as far as the puppy is
concerned.
Not All Are Mongrels.
But these incoming hordes of dogs
are all in the days work at Rescue
League headquarters. Most of the
dogs that come in for disposal are
mongrels. Usually the people who pay
the price of a pure-bred dog. either
to protect their investment or because
they are genuine dog lovers, or else
they would not pay the price, do not
give up their dogs for trivial reasons.
And generally it is fairly easy
to find good home for the
pure-bred dog among ones
friends, without invoking the
aid Of any outside agencies.
Occasionally. however. pedigreed
dog does come in for one reason or
another. At present there is very
handsome Doberman Pinscher housed

his present surroundings and hoping
soon to find permanent home.
