' Do You Deserve To Have A Dog? If :You have a dog he's the best friend you've got.

Few Men "deservethe love that a dpg is „eager to be- . Ste* on 'then), A dog never 'bothers whether you are right or wrong.

And it would not be fool- ish sacrifice. either. Dogs fre quently show intelligent courage in a crisis when humans around them are panicking. Such a dog was Sport, a large, mongrel. He lived with his master, An- dre Minette, a woodsman ' in Se- •quin Falls; Canada. Minette and his wife had a small soh, whom Sport worshipped. One day, returning' from the woods, Minette was horrified to see three wolves creeping towards the pram where his' 'baby son Was sleeping: He stood motionless 'frozen' 'with fear, was helpless, But his dogvasn't. Sport knew instinctively that 'if he tore into the wolves he would be ripped to pieces, leav- ing the baby at the wolves mer- cy. So, instead, he ran towards the wolves to attract their atten- tion - then stopped. He glared challengingly at them. The wolves made a rush at him, but the mongrel turned and raced, away. into the forest. Min- ette had the chance to whisk his son out of the pram and dash to .safety. Sport did not return. He had .staked his, life for the person he loved, but not 'wildly or vainly.' 'He had made, sure first that the 'baby was safe.
