This little boy had a cur-dog that was the exact image of himself; he was the most troublesome, surly creature imaginable, always barking at the heels of every horse he came near, and worrying every sheep he could meet with for which reason both the dog and the boy were disliked by all the neighbourhood.
His negotiations were foiled by the frenzy of the one country and the pride of the other. At home his enemies assailed him with a storm of abuse. Pope and Johnson alike lent their pens to lampoon the minister. Ballad-singers trolled out their rimes to the crowd on "the cur-dog of Britain and spaniel of Spain."
The two hounds before referred to, accompanied by a cur-dog, whose business it was to mind the farm, but who took as much delight in running away from prosy duty as if he had been a schoolboy, would frequently steal off and have a good hunt all by themselves, just for the fun of the thing, I suppose.
He found out the door with no small difficulty, and for some time knocked without producing any other answer than a duet between a female and a cur-dog, the latter yelping as if he would have barked his heart out, the other screaming in chorus.
Dare for once to do a strange thing, and let yourself be laughed at; go to a workman's meeting a Chartist meeting, if you will; and look honestly at the faces and brows of those so-called incendiaries, whom your venal caricaturists have taught you to believe a mixture of cur-dog and baboon we, for our part, shall not be ashamed to show foreheads against your laughing House of Commons and then say, what employment can those men find in the soulless routine of mechanical labour for the mass of brain which they almost universally possess?
A little lady-friend of mine gave him that name, 'cause he flickers round so so like a little yeller flame. Did I mention his color was yeller? That alone would show he's a true-breed cur-dog." "Say, I forgot my mother she she sent me down to tell you she wants to see you right away up in her sittin'-room. I guess you better go quick." Mrs.
A Mississippi planter's watch-dogs were kept for their vigilant and ferocious hostility to the negro of the quarters and to all strangers. One of these, a powerful, notorious, bloodthirsty brute, long-bodied, deer-legged you may possibly know that big breed the planters called the "cur-dog" and prized so highly -darted out of hiding and silently sprang at the visitor's throat.

Your cur-dog is a true pedestrian, and your neighbor is very likely a small politician.
He had once a little cur-dog, he said, and he knew nothing of the dog licence; then one day the peelers the boys with the little caps asked him into the barracks for a cup of tea. He went in cheerfully, and then they put him and his little dog into the lock-up till some one paid a shilling for him and got him out.
