A DOG STORY

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—We have a small rough-haired terrier bitch. My wife goes in for turkeys and as these are hatched out they are fed by hand. The terrier takes a great interest in the turkey chicks. Last week when one lot were being fed one little chick was evidently sick and did not come to the food with the rest. The terrier looked at it several times and then going behind it pushed the chick along with her nose to the food. I am sending you this as you sometimes record actions of this sort.—I am, Sir, &c., J. M. MOUBRAY. Chipoli, Shama, S. Rhodesia.
