Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Variety Lane Most dogs, though they are prompt to investigate new acquaintances and like an excursion with their kind and now and then, are happiest with their masters; and this, I am sure, is not cupboard love either. It is pleasure in the human relation. What they understand of our language is little, but what they understand of our tones is much. They instantly respond, so sensitive are they to vocal inflections, and can be affected by murmurs better than by words. This sensitiveness, especially to sounds of reproach or disapproval, sometimes tempts people to take liberties with a dog´s feelings. That is a mistake, and one for which, since all dogs must die, and most of our dogs die before we do, we can be very sorry. Indeed, the brevity of a dog´s life is not the least sad anomaly in a world where sadness is no curiosity. I have of late been thinking of this brevity with renewed seriousness; for as I approached my home the other day, after an absence of three weeks, I saw my dog in the distance, across a meadow, and whistled to him. He heard me whistle and, to my surprise, after standing still for a moment or so, wonderingly, he came toward me not with his usual swift directness, but uncertainly.
