VANITY OF THE HUMAN BIPED

(Continued from Page: 8.)

TELEGRAPH. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1936.

A friend of mine, in Hankow, had chows. Every peke and two

let 'morning the Chinese houseboy them out for a run on tho Bund. When their constitutional was over they returned home, and, while the two chows squatted on lower ste

step, the peke, which alone was able to sit up on his haunches, took the top step, and drummed with his forepaws on the front door, which was opened for them by the attentive Chinese boy. This is no better than the reasoning power which enables a cat, and even a pony, to turn a door. handle and pull down a latch. DOGS' INTELLIGENCE

im- I leave out of account the pressive semlhuman manifestations. of chimpanzees and the higher apes, because even our friend the Professor is willing to concede them a certain approach to human reasoning power. I am content to rest my case on the dog,

Do sheep dogs display no reasoning power, equal to human intelligence, when they pick out certain sheep from the Block, drive them into an enclosure, and obey the

the slightest signal of their taciturn

masterat Allowing that these sheep dogs are specialists, with inherited shepherd- ing instincts, what about the wonder- ful little dog which received the canine V.C. not so many months ago for an act of gallantry fully recorded and corroborated at the time"

This dog was a newcomer recently adopted in the family that owned him. One day, the master was out with a baby girl and the dog. Missing the child, the master searched, and was horrified to see the dog crouching. over the baby.

The master dashed up, and raised his stick to strike the dog, which he believed to be worrying the child on the ground. That dog never flinched, though he saw the threatening gesture with the stick, but held on liko grim death to the baby's clothes. Then the master found that the newcomer in the family circle knd saved his child's life. She had fallen into

a small brook, and the dog was carefully holding her head above the water, though not big or strong enough to lift the child out.

This is no pretty fairy tale, but authentle fact, and, if I owned him, I would not swap that dog for a whole menagerie" of Parliamentary under-secretaries with university honours degrees.

I once had to ride sixteen miles across D wild stretch of Devon moorland, on a night as black as the inside of a cow, over trocks quite

unfamiliar to me. Twice I tried to force my pony what proved to be the wrong way at crucial points, but he refused, and carried me, safe sure, right back to the farm where I was staying.
