THE DOG. 



English and Scotch Terriers. 



The Terriers never grow to any considerable size. There are several breeds of Terriers, among which 

 the English and Scotch are most conspicuous. These dogs are principally used for destroying rats or other 

 vermin, and are so courageous that they do not hesitate to unearth the fox or the badger. The Scotch 

 Terrier is a rough, wiry little dog, with hair hanging over its eyes, so that those organs are hardly visible, 

 and when it is in the water its wetted hair quite obscures its vision. Terriers are extremely attached to 

 their masters, and are capable of learning many amusing tricks. 



The Shepherd's Dog is a rough, shaggy animal, with sharp pointed ears and nose. It is an invaluable 

 assistant to the shepherd, as it knows all its master's sheep, never suffers them to stray, and when two 

 flocks have mixed, it will separate its own charge with the greatest certainty. It understands every look 

 and gesture of its beloved master, am] drives the flock to any place which he points out.
