BIG DOG TROTTING 



This track of a big dog trotting in about two 

 and a half inches of snow is singular in the 

 perfect register it shows. The hind foot drops 

 each time into the track of the front foot. 

 This correct style is more usual with wild than 

 with tame animals. Compare with track of 

 dog galloping, page 596. 



A COMMON DOG 



The hind feet are, as usual, narrower, though 

 nearly as long as the front. The dog is a loose 

 walker. Sometimes the hind foot is on the 

 track of the front, sometimes ahead, and often 

 behind. The claws show. The dragging of 

 the front feet is another slovenly habit, an evi- 

 dence of overdomestication.
