So, I am a dog? Hence I must come To do thy bidding faster? Must tell thee Nay, a dog stays dumb! A dog obeys one master!
Puppies half-starved, and especially if dirtily kept, are thus affected; and it is generally found connected with a loose skin, flabby muscles, enlarged belly, and great stupidity.
