    Indians are very fond of dogs, and around every wigwam, tepee, hut, or wherever they reside, there are always from 6 to 20 wolfish dogs. An Indian dog loves an Indian and hates a white man with equal intensity. When a white man drives through an Indian village and sees a dog by the wayside, his natural impulse is to whistle in a friendly way. But the instant he whistles the dog turns tail and is out of sight quicker than if he had been kicked. An Indian never whistles to his dog when he wants the animal to come to him; he places his tongue against his teeth and hisses.
