The Sheep Dog 
W HAT does this dog see, that he 
looks so far away and so very in¬ 
tently? He is looking at his flock 
of sheep, seeing that they are all in safe 
places, and that no one of them has wan¬ 
dered away from the rest. He is also look¬ 
ing far off in every direction to see that no 
wolves nor wild dogs are in sight, for they 
might harm the sheep. This sheep dog is 
not as handsome as his Scotch brother, the collie, but he does his work as 
faithfully, and can always be relied on to follow and find a lost sheep or 
lamb. 
The Toy Ter-ri-er 
T HIS little dog seems as if he had 
just heard his master call him or 
snap his fingers at him, and was in 
doubt where his master was. He is alert, 
ears up, forepaw lifted, because he has not 
quite decided which way to run. He is a 
perfect little doggy of his kind, all white 
except his eyes, the tip of his nose, and his 
claws. He weighs only about five pounds, 
and makes a lively and delightful little plaything. His eyes are very 
bright, and his bark is short and sharp. He is really a lovable dog. 
The St. Bernard Dog 
W HAT is that little thing that is fastened to the neck of this kind¬ 
looking dog? You could never guess, unless you knew where he 
lives. Notice that house there, back of him, all covered with 
snow. And do you not see mountain peaks 
white with snow? High up in the Alps 
Mountains in Switzerland is the home of 
the monks of St. Bernard. There some of 
these kind, strong dogs are kept, and when 
there is a severe snow-storm, they are sent 
out to search for travelers who may have 
lost their way. To the dog’s neck is fast¬ 
ened a flask of wine and some food.
