CHAPTER VIII A RUINED DOG
11/12

Are you going to sleep in the kennel with me, or in the stable ?" "I think I will sleep with you, Jim.

Dogs like company, you know, as well as human beings." I curled up in the straw beside him and soon we were fast asleep.
I have known a good many dogs, but I don't think I ever saw such a good one as Jim.

He was gentle and kind, and so sensitive that a hard word hurt him more than a blow.

He was a great pet with Mrs.Morris, and as he had been so well trained, he was able to make himself very useful to her.
When she went shopping, he often carried a parcel in his mouth for her.
He would never drop it nor leave it anywhere.

One day, she dropped her purse without knowing it, and Jim picked it up, and brought it home in his mouth.
