THE DOG THAT EARNED A MEDAL. 



73 



The Highlanders did not have much fighting to do that day. 

 The poor Arabs ran themselves quite out of breath. They never 





C 





stopped till they 



were miles away, 



ill a safe place. How 



proud the soldiers were 



of Juno! 



Xow, when the war 



was over, the soldiers 



had a parade. Medals 



were given to those who had been brave. But nobody had so 



much attention as Juno. She marched proudly with her regiment, 



and all the people praised and petted her. 



Perhaps Juno was contented with caresses; yet many people 

 said she ought to have had a medal, too, as well as the men. The 

 playful dog really scared the enemy more than the soldiers didj 

 and; besides, she did not hurt any of the poor Arabs.
