Among the smaller breeds the ever popular Pekinese is a favorite A chow finds himself as much at home in a runabout as in the 
“accessoryTwo of him will fit comfortably in even a small reception room. Though he may need a seat all to himself, he 
semi-racing car is a good companion 
For a more topiary effect the poodle is in a 
class by himself. He would doubtless be seen 
frequently in cars were he less rare in the home 
W ITH the advent of 
these gasoline- 
driven days there has 
come a new stage on which 
the dog stars well-nigh as 
brilliantly as he has done 
for ages in the home: the 
stage of the motor car. 
The dog in the car is to¬ 
day a conspicuous and 
popular feature in town 
and country. Whether Peke 
or poodle, chow or Chihua¬ 
hua, Pom or pointer, the 
fact of his breed matters 
little so long as he “fits.” 
The photographs on this 
page were taken at one of 
the big race meet openings 
early in the summer. They 
suggest a few of the many 
possibilities in a theme 
that is ever growing in 
favor, and which appeals 
as strongly to the dog 
as it undoubtedly does to 
his master or mistress. 
The Irishman likes to be there or thereabouts 
whenever anything happens. But even he 
cannot safely ride on the hood at high speeds
