BILLY AND BRUISER.

BILLY is a small boy: Bruiser is a big dog. They are great friends.

Billy gets on Bruiser's back, and treats him as if he were a horse.

Bruiser takes this as a good joke. He likes to have Billy play with him

in this way. But it would not be safe for anybody else to do it.

Bruiser is a grand watch-dog. One day the old dog gave a fierce growl to

keep off a butterfly.

He thought the butterfly was going to attack Billy. Billy had a good

laugh at this; for, small as he is, he thinks he is a match for a

butterfly.
