The Road to Dumhiedykes 



esting, I suppose, to some to know tha 

 a dog that is all legs and snout, pos 

 sessing no middle, can be bred. It i 

 interesting perhaps to see a breed tha 

 has no nose nor brain, but what i 

 found to admire in such freaks is \ 

 query put by many people possessini 

 sound minds in sound bodies. How 

 ever, "de gustibus non est disputan 

 dum." I have no quarrel with thosi 

 who like canine canaries; but as fo 

 myself give me the virile, norma 

 animal that bears some resemblano 

 to the primal product of the wilds. 



I love dogs. That's why I don' 

 own one. There is no place for then 

 in town, and I can spend only a fev 

 months each year in the country 

 Moreover, you become too attachec 

 to a good intelligent pup. He grow 

 into your affections in real humai 

 fashion. So much so that when yoi 

 lose him under the wheels of a moto 

 or from natural causes you find tha 

 too strong a hold has been laid upoi
