The Homeless Dog

To the Editor of the "NortH-Cuixa Dany News."

'Sm—Beirig a dog lover I was greatly interested in W. H.'s article, Certainly there should something be done to protect valuable dogs against being destroyed after; 10 days' stay. Tt might} happen that a dog strays! away during the absence of his! master and that Chinese servants are unaware of the possibility finding the dog in the Kennel. Thus} the owner returning might come too late and a valuable dog and good Gierd for many years might have been destroyed.

I would like to get information on another point. Are the kennels continually supervised by a qualify ed veterinarian? The danger of being infected is naturally very big as there are many dogs crowded together in a small. space, although each dog is kept in k separate coze.

T have been many times to. the! Kennel and quite agree with W. F. that the police officers in charge and the Chinese assistants extend the greatest courtesy tp visitors, and furthermore I wish to mention that T found the cages always to be well kept and clean.

Enclosing my card, Tam,
