"Hogs or dogs," said I, "whole, with their heads on do you mean that?" "Yes, Massa, dis here child do, of a sartainty." "Hogs like the pig, and dogs like the Newfoundlander at the door?"

Anthony, to brave the bitter storms of winter, traveling over hundreds of miles of dreary frozen storm-swept sea and land to help the needy, often to save life. He never charges a fee, but the Newfoundlander is independent and self-respecting, and when he is able to do so he pays. All that comes to Doctor Grenfell in this way he gives to the mission to help support the hospitals.

His face purpled, Ootah raised his lithe body, his muscles quivered like drawn rubber. His black eyes flashed proud defiance. "Youh'd fight me, eh? youh defy me, youh damn candle-suckin' heathen!"
