"That's what I call friendship," remarked Mr. McClain. ,- 1 "Mister is too old. to fight any more, so, one day when a dog went after him you should have seen Bus ter get into the fight," Freddie said. .. "f think it is nice of the Hu . mane society to keep a dog that way for 10 days, to find out whether it has rabies," said Mr. Glessman. "But we knew that Buster did not have rabies. He- is only a watch dog and he knows how to watch."
