In Hungjao Area 4

as-|To the Editor of the "Nowru-Cuua Dany News"

Sin—Whilst on my early morning today in the Mungjao country dog" was attacked, without provocation, by another," He was fortunately able to run" the faster fand got home without damage, far as 1 could see, though badly frightened, 1 understand the same dog has also gone for other dogs, the owner like myself being an early morning walker.

'Some few weeks ago my dog was also attacked by an Alsatian in the same country, and without provoca~ ton, but unfortunately that time he was' somewhat badly bitten, This Alsatian, T found, had also attacked ther understand there {san JAisatian who almost daily forces itself into a garden of a house occupied by a foreigner on Warren Road and goes for the owner's dogs. This dog is owned by a gentleman who rides down Warren Road every morning.

T cannot understand the mentality of people who allow dogs who are known to be vicious towards other animals to run loose: without a muzzle. They would not be allowed {to do so in the Settlement, and it is hardly "playing the game" to those fof us who live in Hungjao to take advantage of the present conditions in_that area, The owners of these "force" dogs might be interested to know that have often met the Japanese Military Jout with dogs, mostly Alsatians, 1 ido not know what they are training them for, but I think they would very definitely object to the attention Jot "fierce" dogs and their owners might quite possibly find themselves leading figures in another "incident, A Rear, Hunossorre, Shanghai, Nov. 24.
