Dogs as home companions
Albert Frederick Hochwalt
Original publication: Cincinnati: Sportsman's Digest, 1922This book is for the dog lover; not he who raises dogs for
show purposes or as a commercial pursuit, though that is a
most laudable enterprise, but he who loves the companionship
of an intelligent dog and appreciates him for his real qualities as
a home companion. As guardian of the house, a faithful ally to
share in the joys and the sorrows of the household; or as a
boon companion of the children. In short, a dog which is, to all
intents and purposes, “one of us.”There are many people in the world, of this class, and as many
more who would have a dog, if they knew how to keep one,
for deep down in their subconsciousness the love of the dog is
there. To those, this book may be of help; it may prove that a
dog in the home is like a regenerating influence; and many a
family needs regeneration.There are still many more who feel that they would like a dog
for home and children if one could be kept in the city in a
satisfactory manner. It is true that the dweller in flats could not
have a St. Bernard or a Great Dane tagging about with him,
but in many a flat small dogs are harbored and live their lives
in the companionship of their human friends as happily, if not
more so, than those dogs which live in kennels.
