Those who own dogs, and every-cone who does loves them, will sympathize with the wail of "Only a little dog," though, probably, everyone who misses a canine pet makes inquiry of the police or the Kennels, which do not appear to be so widely unknown as our correspondent would appear to think. In this connexion may we offer a suggestion? It would be a good plan, we venture to think, if arrangements could be made whereby 'a list of dogs in the kennels could be published weekly in the Municipal Gazette, giving breed, as far as possible, and sex. Then if the dogs were unclaimed within three days after publication of the list the ordinary processes of destruction or sale could follow. This would confer a double benefit: it would let owners of lost dogs know if by any chance their pet was in the kennels, and give those who wished to acquire an unclaimed dog an opportunity of learning when their requirements might be met. It might save the life of many a dog who dies because he is unwanted.
