DOG DELIVERS PAPERS AND WINES.
There is a least one dog owner in Paris who can boast that the tricks he has taught his dog are useful ones, and he is the keeper of a wine and tobacco shop in Rue Galilee. His dog Dick, a kind of fox terrier, has been taught to carry wine and messages and to distribute newspapers to customers. According to his owner, the dog displays marvellous intelligence and love of work. Early every morning Dick goes up to the fifth floor to wake the servants, then he waits to have a bundle of newspapers strapped to his back, which he carries to each subscriber, and during the day he delivers wine in bottles, to any customer with whose name and address he has before been made acquainted. He thus goes a quarter of a mile on various errands, and returns to his master, delighted to get a cake or a piece of sugar as his reward.
