NEWS FROM DOGDOM
Notes on Variety of Subjects of Interest in
Washington and Vicinity
BY X. X. Taynfon.

When strangers meet and appar-
emily can find no mutual interest.
only the mention of dogs is needed
to provide a common bond. Some of
the most interesting stories about
pet Fidos and Nellies are brought to
light in that way. but this one is
rather grueSome. 1t seems that the
family dog was kept chained to a
staple in the stone wall of an old
New England barn. The staple and
the chain were both Of iron, al
though the barn itself was mainly
of stone. One day a lightning flash
hit the old barn, Travelled down a
lightning conductor against the
wall, hit the iron staple and chain
and electrocuted the poor dog with
out doing any other damage to the
building or any of the livestock In 1t.
A somewhat pleasanter story was
told by woman whom we also met
for the first time. Her father used
to spend the half hour Immediately
following his old-fashioned, heavy
Sunday dinner in pacing back and
forth across the living room. He
folded his hands behind his back,
bent his head forward, as if in deep
cogitation, and deliberately and
slowly marched back and forth
Right behind him in a queue, heads
dropped forward, tails, df any at
half mast. paraded the family dogs
bull terrier, a Boston terrier and a
Yorkshire terrier. If any OF the
seated members of the family hap
pened to look up and catch the eye
of one of the mimicking dogs, the
/ parade was over for the day. The
dogs could not stand the laughter
which always followed. Papa, how
ever. was made of sterner stuff, anc
took his full half hour.
An interesting book has recently
been published about dogs. 1t Il
called Dogs Are Like That writer
by John Vassos and published BY
E. P. Dutton Co, New York. Tht
book is about Vassos' own dogs, ;
large and intelligent German shep
herd, Dingo, and his English setter
Rex. Both dogs were unusual onl.
to their owner perhaps. But to him
as TO every dog owner and lover
each dog was a distinct personality
and the story of each dogs trait
and deeds makes fascinating read
ing. Of almost equal interest ar
the beautiful photographs whicl
liberally illustrate this book. The
were taken by Margaret Bourke
White. Otto Hess and Beth Dickin
son and includes some of the mos
beautiful dog pictures I have eve
seen.
