T HIS dog is very up-and-coming, 
just as his tail looks. He is the 
jolliest comrade, as many an 
out-of-doors man has found out. He 
is rather a large dog, and may weigh as

The Pointer 
S EE this fine hound. He is white 
with tan spots, so his master easily 
sees him in the field. This dog 
finds where the game is, by catching the 
scent of it. Then he stands very stiff 
and still, right in his tracks, turning not 
even his eyes away from the spot where 
the game is. His pointed tail sticks 
straight out, on a line with his back. 
Thus he stands till his master comes up, takes aim, and fires at the bird or 
animal. Then the dog leaps into action, and brings the dead game and 
lays it down at his master’s feet. 
The Collie 
H ERE in the hills of Scotland this handsome dog has his home. Day 
and night he tends the large flocks of sheep in the pastures, and 
summer and winter his beautiful thick coat keeps him protected 
from the weather. He has a very good 
mind, for a dog, and tends strictly to 
his work of looking after the sheep, for 
he is a true shepherd dog. He is very 
faithful and loving. How proudly he 
carries himself! He is indeed fine- 
looking, with the long silky hair of his 
white and brown coat and his bushy 
tail which he carries so that the white 
hairs do not sweep the ground.
