OUR FRIEND THE DOG 



us, I confess that I should dis- 

 trust the hasty vengeance of the 

 horse, the obstinate reprisals of 

 the ass and the maddened meek- 

 ness of the sheep. I should shun 

 the cat as I should shun the tiger; 

 and even the good cow, solemn 

 and somnolent, would inspire me 

 with but a wary confidence. As 

 for the hen, with her round, quick 

 eye, as when discovering a slug or 

 a worm, I am sure that she would 

 devour me without a thought.
