A dog that can, not only find the game, and recover it after it is killed, but can make up a fire to cook it by, and no doubt helps to eat it, too, when it is done. This beats anything in the dog line we have yet heard of, although a gentleman, dead many years since, who lived in Powhatan, had one that was a pretty good angler, watched the cork, knew when to pull, and on one occasion caught a chub weighing seven pounds. But this dog, we repeat, beats all. All the rest are mere curs to him. He is not only a good fire maker, but he seems to be training up the puppies in the way they should go. Decidedly he should be taught to shoot. Old Mother Hubbard's dog was nothing to him.
