been affectionate he often becomes cross and irritable while dogs dog E that are of a nervous ferocious temperament pe frequently become very affectionate and timid in many cases the animal goes away from home and may travel several miles and on hla his return will show that he has been in a number or of fights with other dogs there Is always a change in the voice of the animal instead of a bark
