Insane and criminal dogs
Did you ever hear of a dog that
went insane? Or one which, if he
were human, would Be called, not
crazy, but a mental defective?
Have you ever heard of a dog
fainting? Have you ever heard of
respectable and well behaved dogs
suddenly turning criminals? Or
of dogs that will not eat except
in the darkness of night,1 and then
only when nobody is near?
I have records that prove that
all these things do happen to dogs.
Insanity sometimes assails dogs
as it assails people; and with
much the same manifestations.
Often people think such a dog
rabid, but he is not. He is just
crazy. It is possible for a dog to
go crazy just as some humans do.
However, in all the cases of crazy
dogs I have encountered I have
never known of one to recover
fully. I have been in contact with
several dogs which were “low
grade morons,’’ mentally deficient,
like a defective child, yet not in
sane. Often times a dog suffering
with rickets in puppyhood will be
left with a slightly clouded brain.
Dogs faint, too, once in a great
while, just as humans do. Usually
this happens only when they have
undergone some violent exertion
or shock. And as for dogs sudden
ly turning criminals, I have many
reports of once reliable herding
dogs which, secretly, “went bad’’
and destroyed the si eep which
they once guarded so zealously. A
friend of mine owns two champion
show dogs that seem normal in
every respect, but yet they will
only eat at midnight, and then only
if they are left alone. Yes, like
humans there are some dogs that
are queer.
stopping dog fights
Almost ever dog sometime dur
ing his lifetime gets into a fight
with another dog. With some it
happens very frequently. If you
are out with your dog and he gets
into a brawl with another dog,
here are a few tips worth remem
bering:
Never whip fighting dogs. It
only encourages them to continue
fighting. A fight can sometimes
be stopped quickly by choking the
offending animals by placing a
leash or chain around their necks.
Be careful as you do this for a
dog in the turmoil of battle may
unknowingly turn and bite even
his master. Throwing water on
the dogs will sometimes do the
trick, especially if a small amount
of spirits of ammonia has been
added to it.
LEFT-HANDED PATTED DOGS
Some of our fighting men sta
tioned in the Middle East and
Africa noticed that practically all
the native dogs approached their
left side when coming to them for
a morsel of food or a friendly pat.
There is a reason for this. For
generations the Arabs and Mos
lems have considered the dog un
clean. They hae a definite
respect for dogs but avoid touch
ing them except with the left hand.
One seldom sees these natives pat
ting a dog except with his left
hand. All dogs in that part of the
world have learned that man’s
contact with them is left-handed,
hence they have learned to ap
proach from that direction.
train dog to be tied
It is advisable to keep a dog in
a kennel yard even if the yard
be small, rather than to keep him
tied or chained. But every dog
should be trained to remain quiet
when he is tied. Often it is neces
sary to fasten him, for a short
time, during a walk, in a hotel,
or while he is accompanying you
on a shopping or visiting tour.
Therefore, tie him up at home,
for about ten minutes each day,
until he is used to it.
Dogs, unused to tying, will
cringe and cower and tremble,
during the rare times it is neces
sary to fasten them in this way.
Some will plunge and struggle and
yelp, in a panic-stricken effort to
get free or yank at their bonds
until they are half-strangled. This
wouldn’t happen if their owners
had accustomed them to it by ty
ing them up, at home for a few
minutes every day, and letting
them see there is no danger or
discomfort connected w i th the
process. It is a needful thing to
learn, and it is easy to teach.
* » *
DON’T THROW IT AWAY
We hear a lot about vitamins
these days, especially about the
famous one called Bl. Yet most
of us throw away much of this
vital vitamin contained in some of
our foods before we even eat
them. It happens this way. Much
of the vitamins and minerals are
extracted from vegetables when
they are boiled in water. These
vital .food elements are trans
ferred to the water which we
throw down the sink before put
ting the food on the table.
Save this water that vegetables
have been cooked in for your dog.
It will benefit his diet greatly
without much trouble on your
part. Keep a glass jar in the
kitchen, remembering that you
can mix water in which different
vegetables have been cooked in,
then from time to time add this
to your dog’s regular food.

THE QUESTION BOX
Question: Is it true that all pup
pies are born blind?—H. L.
Answer: I wouldn’t say they are
born blind, but all dogs are born
with their eyes closed which they
usually open on the ninth day fol
lowing birth.
Question: We are wondering if
it is advisable to give a seven
weeks-old Collie a bath regularly
each week?—E. N. C.
Answer: I don’t advise bathing
young pups and never bathe any
dog oftener than once a month.
You will find that a daily brush
ing of the dog’s coat will not only
improve it but keep it clean as
well. 1

Looking Back
The success of the remote
broadcast from the Cape Fear
armory last Thursday night, the
first of its kind ever presented in
this area, is due in a great measure
to R. A. Dunlea, owner-manager
WMFD. He spared no effort to see
that all possible technical aid was
forth coming. On the job himself
during the entire hour he was ably
assisted by Harry Jones and Tom
Gause. A very deep nod Dick
Dunlea for your splendid co-opera
tion. One of the functions of a
local radio station is the presenta
tion of local programs—WMFD is
more than a leader in this type of
promotion. On every occasion this
station has given time and effort
;o local organizations in the fur
therance of their particular
projects. Last Thursday night’s
oroadcast was WMFD’s contribu
tion to the March of Dimes cam

it increased materially the finan
