Text Appearing Before Image: owing unmistakable signs of having descended from the bull dog,but in reality it is mild and harmless# The pug is a pet, and useless for anyother purpose# It is cheerful and amusing in its ways and shows great affection,but it is also jealous in disposition and will frequently snap at strangers# POODLE DOG# The Poodle is another pet dog# It is in great vogue in France, wherethey shave the back and cut the hair off its tail, so as to leave rings and tufts# The poodle, therefore, is placed lower down in the scale of good dogsthan it ought to be# It is really an exceedingly bright and clever dog, and can be taught toperform endless tricks# It is affectionate and docile# THE DINGO# The Dixgos of Australia are one of the many forms of life which make thatcontinent mysterious# These animals, half dog, half fox, live in great numbersnear the sheep ranches, where they thrive marvellously, in spite of the unceas-ing warfare waged against them by man# They steal sheep and lambs to an DOG FAMILY
