- Mother Dog’s Gratitude
Horace Hutchinson of East Braln-
tree testifies that gratitude is anoth-
er admirable quality of a good dog.
He saw a puppy struggling in the lee
in the river and a moment later the
mother dog plunged In and swam
frantically to the little dog. Hutch
inton got a ladder and succeeded In
rescuing both animals. On reaching
shore the mother dog jumped upon
him, placed both paws on his shoul:
ders and kissed him agaln and again,
Then puppy and mother trotted out
of sight. ~Boston Herald
Lg. 1021, Western Newspaper Linon.)
He is happiest who hath power
To gather wisdom from every
flower,
And wake his heart in every hour
To pleasant gratitude
