Dogs Are Visiting The Psychiatrist
London, Oct. 30. Paychiatrists have gone to the dogs, or rather dogs are going to the psychia- trist.
It was bound to happen sooner or later.
Take the case of Butch, a four-year-old boxer, who had his Arst bout recently with Bri- tain's only dog parohiatrist, Robert Horsfall.
Butch had taken to biting all rother dogs. It didn't matter what the size or breed, he bit them one and all.
Butch's owner, Mra Constance Gamble, after paying a court fine for failure to keep her dog under control sought help from Horsfall.
3 VICTIMS
Three victima, a Spaniel, a Mongrel and Golden Retrie- ver, all had to have veterinary treatment after Butch finished with them. If he did it again, Mrs Gamble was warned, Bulch had had it.
Horsfall, 32-year-old Guardman and Follow Dog
