44 DOG STORIES 



A CANINE SIGHT-SEER. 



[May 20, 1876.] 



As a subscriber to your journal, I have 

 observed from time to time discussion on the 

 " reasoning power of dogs." I will tell you 

 what I observed to-day. In consequence of 

 the Leve there was a great crowd in Pall 

 Mall. I was invited by a friend to accom- 

 pany him in his carriage from St. James's 

 Palace down Pall Mall, when lo and behold, 

 his dog, which usually runs with the carriage, 

 insisting on getting in also. Nothing could 

 induce him to get out, and whilst passing 

 along Pall Mall he amused himself looking 

 out of window at the police, soldiers, and 

 crowd collected. When through, he was 

 glad enough to get out again, and readily 

 followed through the most frequented streets. 

 Now, I have no doubt as to that dog's 

 " reasoning power," respecting his ability to 

 follow his carriage safely through the dense 

 crowd collected around St. James's Palace 

 and Marlborough House.
