FROM THE "SPECTATOR? 21 



INSTINCT, OR REASON? 



[Sept. i, 1888.] 



THE following incident in dog-life may per- 

 haps find a place in the Spectator. I quote 

 from a letter received a few days ago from 

 my nephew, " T. G. T.," resident in South 

 Africa : " Johannesburg, Traansvaal. My 

 dog Cherry has had three great pups, and 

 I had to leave her behind at the Grange. 

 When I was going away, Cherry and the 

 pups were located in some stables. She 

 came out and watched the tent-truck and 

 my things packed up. Presently I went 

 away, and when I came back I found 

 Cherry had carried all the pups on to the 

 top of my luggage, and evidently had not 

 the least intention of staying behind."
