This dog's name is Puck, and a ve-ry wide-a-wake dog he is, as you may
see from the pic-ture. His mis-tress is a lit-tle girl named Bell, and
he is ve-ry fond of her. At night he sleeps coiled up at the foot of her
bed. Some-times when she wakes she finds him ly-ing on the pillow, with
his head close to her cheek, and one ve-ry cold night he man-aged to get
in bed un-der the clothes. He is a ve-ry clever dog. If you tell him to
beg, he will sit on his hind paws and wave his fore paws in the air. If
he is thirs-ty, he will bring his cup for you to fill it with wa-ter for
him.
The first time Bell ev-er saw her dog was in the street. He had lost his
mas-ter, and came to her for help. She could not find his home for him,
so she took him home with her, and there he has lived ev-er since. Now
he has for-got-ten his old mas-ter en-tire-ly, and cares for on-ly
Bell.
