IS YOUR DOG A GOOD
NEIGHBOR?
By Bob Bartos
Prominent Dog Authority
It’s your honor-bound duty as
a canine-owning citizen to see
that your dog is a good neigh
bor. That means that he doesn’t
dig up the newly-seeded lawn
next door, bark incessantly,
knock over garbage pails, jump
on children, chase cars or fight
with other dogs.
He must therefore be trained
to stay in his own back yard
and mind his own business. If
he isn’t so trained, you must do
one of two things: Keep him in
doors and walk him leashed,
regularly; or else, build him a
pen.
If you choose the latter course,
which is the easy way out, there
are a few rules to follow. Don’t
build the run where it may be
a nuisance to neighbors. Don’t
build it where passing children
can tease your pet. It should be
set in a spot where there’s plen
ty of shade. Sun is good. for
dogs, but too much sun can kill
them. Keep the run spotlessly
clean and provide for good drain
age if you want your pet to stay
healthy. See that there’s always
fresh water in the pen. Keeping
it in a flat-bottomed crock is
best, .for it’s less apt to spill.
If, ‘instead of a pen, you just
confine the dog on a short chain,
do it only for short periods at a
time. Prolonged chaining may
make a dog mean.

Feeding Tip: Most dogs thrive
on once-a-day feeding provided
they are getting a meal that is
nutritionally well-balanced, ,
such'as Friskfes dog food. Some
dogs do better, however, if their
daily.ration is divided in two
and they are given half in the
morning and hajirin the early
evening.
