THB DOG. 



the dog still curled on his breast. Immediately on seeing the 

 stranger, however, it ran to his side, imploring, in the most 

 pathetic manner, his assistance for its master. The man was 

 by this time, to all appearance, perfectly lifeless ; but assistance 

 being procured, the body was removed to the nearest village, 

 and, various remedies being applied, he ultimately recovered, 

 and told the remarkable story of his escape. 



In gratitude to his preserver, the farmer had a silver collar 

 made, to perpetuate the remembrance of this noble deed, which 

 the dog ever afterwards wore. To its master's honour be it 

 recorded, that when, a httle time after this event, a gentleman 

 oiFered him ten guineas for the animal, the farmer indignantly 

 refused. " So long," he said, " as he had a bone to his meat, 

 or a crust to his bread, he would divide it vvith the faithful 

 friend who had preserved his hfe."
