A DOG CHOOSES A NEW MASTER
This is a true story; it happened a few months ago in Bristol, and was sent to a London paper by a lady there. A N Airedale was given to a man by a friend who had gone to live in a flat and could not, of course, keep such a big dog. The dog took a dislike to its now master and decided to look for another homo. After walking about six miles, it sat down on-the doorstep of a house and barked furiously, asking for admittance. Tlie owner of the house sent it away; but it came back again and again. It was a magnificent dog, so at last they took it in, fed. it, and reported to tho police that they had a lost dog. A few days later the owner, having heard where tho dog was, came to fetch it. But the dog became very savage and refused to go with him'. So savage was
it that the man did not dare to try to force iit. And so, with everybody s consent, the dog remained. It has proved a wonderful companion in its new home, and adores the family it has chosen to adopt.
