Show t's a Dog's Life A certain gentleman went out shooting with a pointer he had borrowed from a friend who was a crack shot. He, being a poor shot, missed again and again, the pointer each time looking at him in bewilderment. Finally the dog set a pheasant in an open field, and glanced back at the man as much as to say: "Now, here's a perfectly good shot. See if you can do anything." The pheasant rose and flew off; the man missed. The pointer sat down, raised his nose high and howled long and dolorously. Then, with never another look at the amateur huntsman, he turned and trotted home. |
