The Greyhound acts toward other Dogs precisely as he does toward human beings. He does not bear them any love, and adopts a manner almost of indifference toward them; but if a fight is started he is the first to bite and may become dangerous; for in spite of his fine, slender body he is strong, and as soon as the biting stage of a fight is reached he takes advantage of his high stature, holding his opponent by the nape of the neck, tightening his grasp when the other Dog moves, tries to lift him. THE BULLDOCr. The type of strength, courage and persistent determination, above all other animals, is the Bulldog. The stout body and powerful chest, the blunt muzzle, the upper lip overhanging the lower jaw on both sMeS and the diminutive ears, all of which are shown in the picture, are points of distinction of .this well known ani- mal. He is a'faithful watch Dbg, a fearless hunter ahd a good servant, but a bold and invincible antagonist. (Canis familiaris molossus hibernicus.) and gives him a shake that makes the poor animal lose his senses. All the unsympathetic qualities of the Greyhound cannot diminish his importance, how- ever. Among many nations he is as indispensable as the Pointer to the European sportsman, or as the Collie to the shepherd. In the South, espe- cially in all countries abounding in plains, he is used to a far greater extent than in the North. The Tar- tars, the Persians, the inhabitants of Asia Minor, the Bedouins, the Cabyls, the Soudanese, the people of India and other tribes of central Africa and Asia put a great value on him, sometimes as great as on a Horse. Among the Arabian tribes of the desert, or rather of the desert-like plains on the border of the Sahara, there is a proverb: "A good Falcon, a swift Dog and a noble Horse are worth more than twenty Women."
