As we entered the hall I heard the sound of a dog howling, and spoke of it to one of the men-servants who had opened the door. "That sounds like Gelert. Is he shut up somewhere?" Gelert was a beautiful sheep-dog who belonged to Feargus and was his heart's friend. I allowed him to be kept in the courtyard. The man hesitated before he answered me, with a curiously grave face. "It is Gelert, miss.
A black-and-white English sheep-dog, his name corresponding closely to his appearance, came racing up the beach at her call. "Did you find it hard to tear yourself away from the hermit-crabs, Ragsie?" she laughed. "You must have gobbled down more than a hundred. It's high time you left off!" She started to race along the deserted beach, the dog leaping ahead of her and yapping ecstatically.
There is always a sad chapter in the life-history of a dog; it is the last one, which tells of his decline; and it is ever saddest in the case of the sheep-dog, because he has lived closer to man and has served him every day of his life with all his powers, all his intelligence, in the one useful and necessary work he is fitted for or which we have found for him to do.
Behind them an old sheep-dog, his soaking paws covered with sand, ran along with his nose to the ground, but carelessly, as if thinking of something else. And then in the rocky gateway the shepherd himself appeared.
But with the sheep-dog it was otherwise. Being a female, she possessed no such instinct. On the other hand, being a sheep-dog, her instinctive fear of the Wild, and especially of the wolf, was unusually keen. White Fang was to her a wolf, the hereditary marauder who had preyed upon her flocks from the time sheep were first herded and guarded by some dim ancestor of hers.
He's got a black coat on and a kind face, sad-like. 'Maybe if you took an axed him, he'd marry you when the moon falls down the chapel chimney and rabbits chase the bobtailed sheep-dog! 'I'm not for marrying anybody. Let's go in, said Hazel. She took off her hat and coat, to enter more splendidly.
Cats have made their mark on its lawns, and its owner's love of animals was sharply illustrated by the sheep-dog which lay on his feet clad in Turkish slippers. Get up, Blink!" Blink, disturbed by the motion of her master's feet, rose and gazed long into his face. "Look!" said Mr. Lavender, "she has the most beautiful eyes in the world."
There are many instances of dogs showing attention to their owner's interests. Mr Jesse mentions one which exhibits a wonderful power of reasoning in a dog. The sheep-dog used to accompany the farm-servants about the farm, but ran home to be fed at the dinner-hour of his mistress, returning afterwards to his duty in the fields.
From that day forth she had dominated the house, tyrannised over the Squire and his lady, defied each and every governess who had shown signs of undue strictness, and found her reward for her devotion in the love of the child who teased her to death and in the long run obeyed her. She had shown herself a positive sheep-dog on board the boat.
The corvette that took the ground, so luckily for you, when half of your hands were aboard the prize, is the Blonde, teak-built, and only launched last year. We must try to have her, whatever happens. She won't hurt where she is, unless it comes on to blow. Our sands hold fast without nipping, as you know, like a well-bred sheep-dog, and the White Pig is the toughest of all of them.
