THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE 



large upon the enclosed lands of a person 

 other than the owner of the dog may be 

 killed, at the time of finding him, by the 

 owner of the land, his agent, tenant, or 

 employee ; that dog owners shall be liable 

 to the county for all money paid out for 

 damages done by their dogs ; that sheep 

 owners may set out poison on their farms 

 after public notice of such intention. 



Such a law aims as much at the pro- 

 tection of the dog that is entitled to a 

 good name, and has an owner who 

 knows and lives up to his responsibilities, 

 as it is for the protection of the commu- 

 nity itself. It espouses the cause of the 

 good dog against the homeless, ill-kept 



wretches that are as much a misery to 

 themselves as they are an evil to the 

 community. 



The law has regard for every right of 

 every owner of a dog who respects his 

 neighbors' rights, and seeks only to curb 

 the carelessness of that owner who has 

 a dog — whether pedigreed or mongrel — 

 that is allowed out of bounds. And, in 

 passing, it must not be forgotten that the 

 only thing worse than a mongrel out of 

 bounds is a pedigreed animal running 

 amuck ; for blooded dogs are more in- 

 tense in their make-up than the mongrel, 

 and therefore more destructive when 

 they "go off the reservation."
