A : From time immemorial, man has looked u P° n the dog as one of his best friends. Some of the best things in English literature have been written about our canine friends and4hey have many deeds of heroism and fidelity to their credit. Not many years ago a“doggerel” (please pardon the pun) entitled “A Yellow Dog’s Love for a Nigger” was quite popular and >t hasn’t been so very long since a Congressman won consider able notoriety by reciting in Congress another doggerel to the effect that “I don’t care if he is a hound, you’ve got to quick kicking my dog around.” And now comes President Harding to intercede with the Governor of Pennsylvania for the life of “Dick,” a dog that was condemned to die be cause he was the property of an alien.
