Fortunately she showed signs of becoming extraordinarily attached to the puppies. On the two days a week when she came up from the village, it was even possible for him to get a little relaxation to run down to the station for tobacco, or to lie in the hammock briefly with a book.
The cruelties that are perpetrated on puppies during the course of their education or 'breaking-in', are sometimes infamous.
My ears were assailed by a confused whining noise, as if all the litters of new-born puppies, kittens with their eyes unopened, and babes just come to light, in the whole world, were brought into one spot, and were whelping, mewing, and squalling at once.
Before he opened his eyes, while he was still crawling about over his brothers and sisters, blind as puppies are at birth, Jim Thompson, Mr. Devant's kennel master, picked him out.

Percy: "as well as I remember, Godfrey, I heard you once answer on a similar occasion, 'No, no I will have nothing to do with any of the daughters of that mother black cats have black kittens' or 'black dogs have black puppies' I forget which you said." "Whichever it was, I am ashamed of having quoted such a vulgar proverb," said Godfrey.
And so, if he didn't get his dishes washed and the house cleaned up for Christmas, all the puppies all over the world would have to go without toys.
