This is a dog's tale. One-third of the canine populace of the island of Hawaii enjov high standing in the social circles of dogdom in spite of the fact that they have neglected the formality of becoming licensed citizens, it has been revealed by the official estimates of the county treasurer. The treasurer's 1928 dog census shows that, while there are approximately 4200 Fidos on the island, there are less than 1400 dogs that are licensed. Of the 4000 dogs on the island, 100 have family trees to brag about, the census shows, while the others are listed as dogs of “ very general nationality.”
