1. The dog is larger and more active than the cat. It is also of more
use to man, for it guards the house, minds the sheep, and will not allow
any one to harm its master.
2. There are many kinds of dogs. All are of some use--from the large
Newfoundland dog to the little fox-terrier.
3. Dogs are like cats in some things. They have padded feet and strong
claws. But their claws are blunt. They cannot draw them into sheaths as
puss does; so they make more noise in walking.
4. The dog is also a beast of prey. But it is not so fierce as the wolf
or the fox, which belong to the same tribe of animals. It likes meat and
bones, but will also eat bread and vegetables. Its teeth are very strong
and sharp.
5. Most dogs have keen scent, pointed noses, and quick sight.
