VI.—THE THIBET DOG. 
The Thibet Dog (Youatt). 
This animal to some extent resembles the English mastiff in 
general appearance, and, being also put to the same use, the two 
may be said to be nearly allied. According to Mr. Bennet, he is 
bred on the Himalaya Mountains, on the borders of Thibet, for the 
purpose of guarding the flocks and the women who attend them. 
The portrait annexed sufficiently describes the shape of this dog, 
whose colour is a dark black, and his coat is somewhat rough.
