For “ Billy,” a sheepdog owned by Mr P. Simonite, of Crossgates, the claim is made that he is the cleverest dog in Yorkshire. He insists on sitting at table for meals, with napkin on, and his food has to be served in a large cup. When his master or any other member of the family is about to take wine, “Billy” will pull the cork out of the bottle as neatly as any barman could do it. Mr Simonite recently refused an offer of over three figures for “ Billy,” who can also unlace Mr Simonite’s shoes and take them off. Mr Simonite says he would not sell the dog at any price.
