THE DOG 



Pit, pat, pit, pat, softly sounded the steps in the 

 hall, and then there was a sharp bark at Miss Clare's 

 door. She opened it and a large dog walked into 

 the room. A card was tied to his collar with some 

 writing on it that said: 



"Good afternoon, little people! My name is 

 Bruno, and I have come to visit you for fifteen 

 minutes/' The teacher read this to the children, 

 and then to their delight Bruno began to walk slowly 

 through the aisles, looking at each little friend out 

 of his big brown eyes. 



Meanwhile Miss Clare was writing this question 

 on the blackboard: "In what ways is a dog like a 

 cat?" and when Bruno had finished his survey of 

 the room and had taken his stand by the teacher's 

 desk, the children were ready to answer it. 



They discovered some resemblances easily, as: 



Shape. 



Shape of limbs. 



Shape of tail.
