Author Description

Excerpt from Our Domestic Animals: Their Habits, Intelligence and Usefulness Our subject is inexhaustible. From the boy animals, and the almost human ties that often who believes that his dog knows as much as he bind him to the brute creation. To the scientist who demonstrates to his satisfaction by laboratory experiments that animals are but creatures of habit and not of rea son, all the world is interested in the animals of the home. Their presence seems to be necessary to complete the family circle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
