Mammals The Dog 
DOG MAXIMS 
Never give a dog hot food. 
Never allow a dog to eat out of a dish used by 
people for eating or washing; the dog has parasites 
dangerous to us. 
Never let a dog lick your face. 
Do not force a dog into water for sticks if he does 
not wish to go, for it may injure him. 
If the dog leaves part of his food untouched, he is 
being fed too much. 
If a dog bites you, disinfect the wound with a 
strong solution of carbolic acid and consult a doctor. 
If you do not wish your dog to be ‘‘smelly’”’, wash 
him as often as needful, and wet him to the skin. 
If you have to punish your dog, do it when he is 
caught in the offense, for dogs cannot remember long. 
Never strike a dog over the head, ears, or abdomen. 
The dog should always have access to fresh, clean 
water. :
