DO DOG COMMIT SUICIDE

In my files I have newspaper
CLIPPINGS that chronicle the appar
ent suicides of a number OF dlf
ferent dogs. There is one about {
boy killed by a car while he was
walking with his dog. The dog was
not hit by the machine but refused
to leave the scene of the accident.
He lay disconsolately on the road
side for many days. Then he
walked deliberately out in front OF
a speeding car and permitted him
self to be run over.
Then there is the case OF a faml-
H's pet dog which was so jealous
at the arrival of a human baby IN
the house that it went to the top
OF the apartment house roof, tive
stories above the street, and
Jumped to it's death. Another clip
ping tells about a Boston Terrier
who refused all food and starved
to death after its young master
died.
The average dog is too sane and
too normal to commit suicide. Yet
there are hundreds Of well invest-
gated incidents that prove that
dogs do on occasion purposely take
their own lives.

THE SPRINGTIME PUPPY

People who raise dogs think
springtime should also be puppy
time. They claim that pups born
in the early spring have the best
chances for a healthy life, and this
may be more or less true. 1 don t
say it is not, though some of the
hardest of my own dogs were
born in mid-W j n r. I have
checked on pups born at all times
of the year and actually I cannot
discover that the season of their
birth made any difference in their
health.
Of course, pups born in early
spring gain some slight Roadway
before the summer fleas begin to
rob them of spirits and appetite.
Also, there is less danger of in
jury from icy weather than for
winter-born pups, but any sensible
breeder can arrange for the safe
ty and comfort of pups born in
cold weather and can easily pro-
tect them from winters hazards.
BY reasonable care, the pup born
