Why Was I Not Born a Dog?

That will doubtless be a question that some of the poor of this world will ask when they read the description of Mr. Frank Gould's $60,000 colonial-cottage dog kennel, at Irvington-on-the-Hudson, with its beautiful hardwood finish, its folding bed for each dog, etc., etc. The dogs are valued all the way from $2,500 to $5,000 each. The pride of the dog household was saved by his keeper, at the risk of the keeper's own life, from the fate of being run over by a trolley-car, and the man was liberally rewarded. It is well that dogs should be cared for. It is better that man, made in God's image, should be regarded.
