Born in Manchester, Mass, at kennels owned by Mrs. George Putnam, the three-year-old male has lived all its life in lapdog luxury. Ever since it was ten months old, it has had a two-hour brushing every two days. It is clipped once a week, gets an extra clipping and has its teeth brushed before every show. And only before shows does Puttencove Promise get bathed; the dog just never gets dirty. In wet weather it is exercised on an outdoor run covered with clean, crushed...
