Now, this dog is a snarling, cross-grained, cantankerous beast, and when I heard Joe was coming, I said: 'Now we'll have a good dog about the place, and here's an end to the bad one.' So I tied Bruno up, and to-morrow I shall shoot him.

Something's got to be done, or he'll be biting some one." "Uncle," said Miss Laura, "people don't always die when they are bitten by dogs, do they ?" "No, certainly not," replied Mr.Wood.

"In my humble opinion there's a great lot of nonsense talked about the poison of a dog's bite and people dying of hydrophobia.

I believe half the people that are bitten by dogs frighten themselves into thinking they are fatally poisoned.
