 hours are eagerly looked forward to. Where the average 

 person may not be in a position to observe the truth of 

 this statement with regard to military dogs, he can always 

 verify it to the extent of watching a shepherd's dog at work 

 with the sheep. How seriously it takes its duties, how 

 ardently it devotes its whole intelligence and attention to 

 the sheep ! One can imagine how heart-broken it would 

 be at being prevented from doing this work ! Could many- 

 human beings surpass it in sincerity and determination of 

 faithful purpose ? Could many even equal it ? 



Recognizing this wonderful living tie between man 

 and dog, the question may be asked : Is it not right and 

 just that in this great War for Principle, when everyone 

 who is brave and good in the Empire, has given of his 

 best, that the dog — man's faithful, loving " pal," — should 

 also be allowed to take part in the great Cause ? The British 

 Army will never fight except in a righteous cause, and the 

 dog can safely be allowed the great honour of assisting.
