Snap 
during the Dog Show, Snap caught sight of an 
elephantine St. Bernard taking an airing. Its 
size aroused such enthusiasm in the Pup’s little 
breast that he leaped from the cab window to 
do battle, and broke his leg. 
Evidently fear had been left out of his 
make-up and its place supplied with an extra 
amount of ginger, which was the reason of his 
fullname. He differed from all other Dogs I 
have ever known. For example, if a boy 
threw a stone at him, he ran, not away, but 
toward the boy, and if the crime was repeated, 
Snap took the law into his own hands; thus he 
was at least respected by all. Only myself 
and the porter at the office seemed to realize 
his good points, and we only were admitted 
to the high honor of personal friendship, an 
honor which I appreciated more as months 
went on, and by midsummer not Carnegie, 
Vanderbilt, and Astor together could have 
raised money enough to buy a quarter of a 
share in my little Dog Snap,
