PARD 



NOT much is known of Pard's pedigree 

 except the fact that his mother was a bull- 

 bitch and that he was brought as a puppy 

 to Avalon and believed to be a clean bred 

 bull-pup. But when his owner saw him grow 

 up a nondescript he abandoned him and the 

 dog became "Shorty's" Pard. 



If I can trust my eyes his father was a 

 foxhound and a good one, for few dogs have 

 a better nose than Pard. "Shorty's" little 

 nephew says: "Uncle 'Shorty's' feet must 

 smell strong and pleasant-like for Pard can 

 find him anywhere." 



The dog must have a Teutonic ancestor 

 somewhere for his favorite food is Bologna 

 sausage. If you give him a nickel he will 

 trot off with it to the butcher's and return 

 with a paper parcel for you to open con- 

 taining five cents' worth of Bologna.
