TIME'S sophisticated disdain of dogdom's antics at the Garden [Feb. 28] is unquestionably justified. Dog owners are a queer lot, and there is a serious question who is master, the owner or his dog...
...breed in your Feb. 28 issue. "Disobedient," "broods," "lazy," "never plays!"-Poppycock! At my present age of six years I will . . outpull any team of horses-in proportion to my weight. As for not playing, my master says I wear out toys more quickly than any other dog . . . .

Matusow was in good voice and-for part of the time-in good humor. On the stand he idly twisted pipe cleaners into animal forms, shaping a dog, a rabbit and a kangaroo.

They are shortlived (six years is considered old). Most important, they are unsociable. "Jock is probably the most disobedient dog I've ever known," said his diminutive (120 lbs.) owner, California Physician John A. Saylor. "He never plays. Bulldogs sit and brood-when they're not sleeping, that is. Jock spends nine-tenths of his waking hours asleep." With fine disdain Jock stood in the ring...
