Dogs
By Peter Boees

Going on vacation soon? Per-
hapS you have planned to leave
your dog in a boarding kennel
while you are away. Of course,
have always advocated that one
should take his dog with him on
vacation, but often this is impos-
lsible. Under such circumstances
the following should be Of inter-
lest:
A dog suffers a great deal more
from separation from those he
loves than does q human. Espe-
cially when he is confined in a
strange place. Often a dog will
refuse food. no matter how hun
CRY he is. I have known a num-
ber Of cases where a dog died
from the effects Of mourning and
waiting for q master to return.
Again let me say take your dog
with you on your vacation trip if
you can. He will enjoy the trip,
too. However. if you can't and he
must be left behind in a boarding
kennel. give him some posses
sion Of yours, like an old shoe or
glove. that he may guard in your
absence. Perhaps this may sound
foolish to you. but I can assure
you it will mean a great deal to
your dog.
