Children Love "Old Dog: Tray" as a

and glrla a mut, aa the fancier
terms a mongrel. Is usually aa
welcome a chum as any Vere de Vera of
canine breeds. Yet when opportunity offers
children make good caretakers of thor
oughbred dogs, and to encourage a liking
among them of animals of pedigree or at
loaal distinct type la one of the objects of
the kennel owners.
At the country shows recently a feature
has been made, of variety classes, that la,
'for dogs of any breed, to be owned and
exhibited In the ring by children. Dogs
are often entered by children at the big
city shows, and they sometimes lead them
In the ring, but there are so many tn the
cluesfs and the Judging la so fast and
buBinesallke that the youngsters are apt
to tllnch from thla task.
The children of a famous exhibitor of
big dogs formed an exception to this rule
at the lust Westminster show. A friend
had brought them a couple of greyhound
puppies from England and the children,
with the consent of their father, entered
their pets In the proper class.
Two of the children led the dogs with
pride about the ring before the Judges an
their brothers and sisters, re-enforced b
a half dosen of their friends, had places on
the rails. The vigorous hand clapping and
the shrill cheers following the placing of
minor ribbons on the collars of the two
greyhounds were a Juvenile manifestation
of delight heard above all the barks and
bustle of the show.
But the children are faithful to their dogs
at the city shows, although they may not
bring ttwm Into the ring. The benches on
which the dogs are placed In their wire
kennels are the resort of the young owners.
Whether bulldog or terrier, huge St.
Bernard or frisky Pomeranian, the com
ing of the Juvenile owner In from school la
the signal for a Joyous greeting. Wlien
the children have to take leave of their
canine chums they orfen leave behind
them a glove, handkerchief or some such
article to break the pangs of parting. A
r-uppy, of course, will promptly tear the
personal property Into tatters, but an
older dog will guard it carefully, and such
a possession Is said to keep a dog from
fretting.
It Is in the open or about the household
that children have most to do with dogs,
for the bench shows are only Incidental
happenings. Puppies and young children
always get along finely together with the
a
toils of the association altogether on the
og In the country a 8t. Bernard or ter
rier pup is often given to the children, with
the knowledge that as It grows the deg will
become a most trustworthy guardian, at
home and afield, and in the country such
a guardian Is worth having.
Such a dog is often told by the mother
or nurse to mind tiie baby. To an old and
self-respecting dog this Is not a congenial
task always, but It never rebels.
The child uses It usually aa a doormat
or a punching bag. mingling Its thuds with
eadearing and Joyous talk. Thla sort of
thing, makes the old dog weary, but It
sticks to the Job. ,
An old dog behaves to a child much as it
does to A puppy. A toddler unwatched will
Tall Joyfully against the toughest looking
of strange dogs, sure ef kind treatment .or '
of toleration at least. A puppy receives

teased too much the big dog may curb
the forward youngster by an admonitory
growl. Just as under similar circumstances

It is well established that dogs recipro
cate the affection shown to them by cMl
dntn. There seems to be a subtle under
standing or affinity between children and
dogs that makes them true friends and
comrades whatever may happen. This
companionship is quite different from the
relatione of dogs and adults.
With adults the strongest allegiance Is
given to the master or mistress and less
loyalty Is given to the subordinates of
the farm, household or kennela But there
Is nothing Individual In a dog's regard for
children; they keep a warm apot In their
hearts for all of them and the children
know It.
Dogs that hunt by eight usually make
better playmates for a child than those
that follow a scent, for they are quicker
