Is A Dog Really
Man's Best Friend?
tekesj bis poocji tp the lake1,
.shore for a. day in the sun. $
doesn’t matter ,to hjm that hi$
dog, prefers aqppplt shady npol?
behind the garage to a swelter
ing, humid foot >pr two of sand
on a crowded beagh. It makes
no difference at. all to such
people that while ethers may
not gppreciete the presence of
a dog, the animals itself feels
put of place.
I actually sawa a great huge
hulk pf a man throw, his shiver’
Jng pet into thqulajce water fem
no other reason than to see the
swimmers scatter and the dog
paddle quickly ashore. Instmer
lively, the animal stopped long
enough to shake the water (and
maybe a few 'sand flies) out of
his long hair arid with every
flick drove another blanket and
its occupants' away from the im
mediate area. Within seconds,
the dog was scooped up and
tossed back into the water and
the performance was repeated.
Now I ask you. Who should
be banned from the beach. The
dog? Or his master?
After 20 minutes of this der
lightful sport, the dog lover
it "was that popular pastime
known as “fetch it back; boy”.
Object is to wing a stick as far
away as possible and to en
courage the dog to hurry to
retrieve it.
This large, offensive . idiot
threw something into the air
Shirley Keller
' They say ' that man’s b^st
friend; is -his dog and despite
what I’ve seen in the, past few
days, you’ll get no argument
from me on that score. A dog,
■iri’ my estimation, is a wonder
ful pet, a truerhlue pal and a
: trusting, constant companion.
Dogs are not only the -more
intelligent of all the animal
kingdom, It is'also a fact that
dogs are smarter than spme
• people—'especially that peculiar
brand of canine lover who .feels
that all # the world loves a dog
no matter where - or in what
circumstanses the four-legged
furry may he. ’
The average .self-respecting
dog wouldn’t be caught dead
in some of the spots humans
put him. If he is a distinctive
ly ordinary pup, his idea of an
outingwou|d be to roam
through an open field or into
a .shady thicket.. A particularly
daring dog. might even choose
to; wander along a creek bed,
nudging the. soft mud on the
bank or sniffing the trail of a
turtle dr something.'
But the mutt has. a master
who believes a dog should ac- „ ,
company him on a shopping. began another game. This time
trip or over the golf course “ *' 1 44
or.to the drive-in theatre.or in
jhet boat or. a hundred and one
other silly places the dog prob
ably deems uncomfortable and
unrewarding.
The; biggest nuisance, of
course, is* the dog owner who
gnd watched it land 40 or
feet down the beach, _
went the dog, bonding dutifully
over and through anything in
its path, |
knocking down children and
generally creating a disturb
ance wherever he ran.-
Which one was the bigger
fool? The dog? Or his master?
Now the dog’s owner was
tired. He stretched himself out
qn his towel and expected the
pup to sit quietly, by in the hot
gun while he snoozed, After a
while, the animal got up and'
ambled slowly but definitely
toward the shade of a tree high
on a hill, His master ordered
him back and commanded him ■
to “sit”. An hour passed. An
other hour. The dog grew un
easy and again headed for the
grassy • relief on the hillside.
Once more he was recalled and
told to “sit there”.
The dog had the good sense
io 'attempt to make his toilet
away from the populus but his
master, insisted he “stay”,
Which is dirty dog? The pooch?
Or his master?
Man’s best friend may be his
dog. I just wonder if the dog’s
best friends is a man.

RAINFALL HAZARDS
Here is a tip to drivers. When
you’re driving and a light rain
fall begins, wait a few minutes
until the windshield is good and
wet before turning on the
wipers, To turn them on when
the first drops appear can
smear the glass instead of
clearing it, Of course, if you,
have windshield washers you
can start the wipers right away.
