When he had got well below the little dog he sprang into the river and swam out into the middle of the stream just in time to catch the helpless dog as he was being swept down the stream.

Стр. 22 - When pussy runs up a tree, her sharp nails hold on to the bark, and she uses her hind claws as well as the fore ones. This is what I read in a book a little while ago about a cat's claws, and I thought it very strange: "The claws of a cat grow very fast, just as our nails do, and, if the cat did not rub them off, they would grow so long that she could not use them. So, when the cat feels that her nails are getting too long, she scratches something hard until she wears them down to the right length....
Стр. 26 - The cat's tongue is covered with little hooks, all pointing backward, so that when the food is in her mouth, the rough tongue helps her swallow it. With this rough tongue she laps up milk, licks the plate clean when she is fed, and licks the meat off from bones.

One day my mother was coming up the lane, and met a tramp, who made a motion to take hold of her. Rover made one spring, and his jaws snapped. The fellow yelled, and as he ran away he limped as though...
Стр. 40 - ... than those of a cat and they hang down by the side of his head. Some dogs have ears that stand up and point forward. My sister has a little white terrier, Gyp, whose hair is silky and much longer than Rover's, and it hangs down over his eyes in a very funny way. He can see very well for all that. Dogs do not hunt for rats and mice, but if a rat comes in sight when Gyp is about, he gives one bound and a snap, and there is a dead rat. When Gyp is asleep, if we call out "Rats," he springs up and...
