THE UNWANTED DOG.

As usual, at this season, my directors would be grateful if you would permit me to remind your readers that this society will arrange without charge - for the humane destruction of any dog, where its owner is unable or unwilling to renew his dog-licence. The Society's local county inspector will, on application, make the necessary arrangements ; and his address may be learned at any police station or from me, Last year over 1,100 dogs were painlessly destroyed by this society and a large number of these might otherwise have been pitiful " strays " in January.—LYNDSAY G. LANOWILL, Secretary, Scottish S.P.C.A., 19 Melville Street, Edinburgh.
