In other countries--in Belgium, Holland and France--I have seen these draught dogs ill-treated and over-worked; but in Germany, never.

Germans abuse animals shockingly.

I have seen a German stand in front of his horse and call it every name he could lay his tongue to.

But the horse did not mind it.

I have seen a German, weary with abusing his horse, call to his wife to come out and assist him.
