32 THE AIREDALE 



ready dog, willing and able to do all terrier work 

 just a little better than the other members of the 

 family, and because of his greater weight enabled 

 to do things his smaller cousins could not even 

 attempt. His great usefulness has kept him 

 from being wholly at the mercy of the faddists of 

 the dog shows, who have given him all the great 

 advantages of their skill in scientific breeding and 

 all the advertising of public exhibition without 

 turning him into a freak.
