Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     A horse came home without a driver, but instead of going directly to the stable, stopped at the house, neighed, and exhibited other indications of great disquietude. This, at first, excited no attention; but, as these manifestations continued, and his master did not appear, apprehesion was excited, and a person dispatched in search of him. He was found two miles off, lying insensible in consequence of a severe blow upon the head which he received by falling from his cart. By no animal has this sentiment been so remarkably evinced as by the dog. A poor boy was fatally injured and carried to a hospital. His little dog followed him thither, and being prevented from entering it, lay down at the gate watching with wistful eyes every one that went in, as if imploring admittance. Though constantly repulsed by the attendants he never left the spot by night or day, and died at his post even before his master.
