‘LIFE * A Dog's Devotion In a letter received from Laurence V. Benet, a member of the committee of management of the American Ambulance Hospital in Paris, a dog’s devotion to his master is described as follows: “A very interesting case turned up a few days ago. A private soldier, of a Zouave regiment, was severely wo. nded near the Belgian frontier. When he left Algiers he was followed by his dog, a very handsome white and liver-colored setter, and this dog followed his company throughout the campaign, every night sharing his master’s blanket, so that they managed to keep fairly warm and com- fortable together.

The dog managed to dig him out, ex- posing his face, before he was com- pletely suffocated, and then managed to call the attention of men in the adjacent trench by seizing their clothing with his tecth and dragging them toward his buried master. The man was found to be very badly wounded with fragments of shell, pebbles and pieces of carth that were driven into his body.

I had a kennel built for the dog, and he is now living near the kitchens and visits his master in the ward once or twice a day. It is really touching to sce his devotion and evident distress at his master’s suffering.” —Bulletin of the A. S. P.C.
