106 DOG STORIES 



AFFECTION. 



\Sept. 15, 1894-] 



As you sometimes admit anecdotes of animals 

 into the Spectator, perhaps you may consider 

 the following fact worthy of record. In a 

 hotel where I am staying, being distressed 

 by the cry of anguish of a dog occasionally, 

 I inquired the cause, and was told that when- 

 ever he happens to be in the hall when 

 luggage is brought down to go in the 

 omnibus, he utters these bitter cries, and 

 has to be removed. His master left him 

 here many months ago, and the supposition 

 is that the sight of the luggage and omnibus 

 recalls his loss ; and is another instance of 

 the faithful affection of these half-human 

 creatures.
