2 r The Canadian Statesman. Bowman ville. October 13.1962 Section Two Byline... By Peter Parrott Gee, I really hate to do this, but... here it is my fourth column and I'm already stuck for a subject. So it T s time to fall back on the old standby. Actually, I have this column in a glass case and in case of emergency, 1 simply break the glass with the blunt end of an electric typewriter and voila ! An instant column. After all, what's the point in having a dog if you can't write about it? There's a theory that dogs resemble their owners, but I disagree. Marsha and I are quiet, law-abiding people who try to Keep the house painted, install insulation in the attic, and meet mortgage payments on time. Our dog is the canine equivalent of the "rebel without a cause". She chews cushions, bites books, swallows leather tags from keychains and generally raises cain. ; You would think, from our pet that we would be motorcycle hoodlums or punk rock musicians, or anything but law abiding suburban dwellers. Dogs don't resemble their masters. It's the masters who resemble their dogs. But you know, since we got the dog, we've started to change. You can't just tell "Panda" to do something. You have to give orders firmly and rule with an iron fist. We've become stubborn, tough, iron- willed and determined as a result of coping with an equally stubborn, tough, iron-willed, and determined pup. In other words, our personalities have changed. Sure enough, we've grown to resemble the dog. This realization leads me to suggest that the dog is an excellent means of altering a person's behaviour. You can mould your personality, eliminate bad habits and develop good ones simply by your choice of dog. Uptight? Nervous? Try a St. Bernard or some other large, drooling beast which seems to have , as much ambition as an Ottawa civil servant the day before a long weekend. A few months with such an animal and you'll be big and easygoing easygoing and drooling too. Flabby? Need exercise? Try a sleek greyhound or an energetic husky. They'll whip you into shape in no time. Bulldogs of Dobermans might be good for people who want to develop more courage and retrievers would help to develop a yen for the wide open spaces. Yes, dogs and their masters do resemble each other. But don't flatter yourself into thinking Fido will grow up to resemble you. Dogs don't resemble their masters. It's the masters who resemble their dogs. 50 Years Ago Thursday, November 10,1932 The names of those who sold Poppies for the Branch. 178 Legion Poppy Day, last Saturday, Saturday, were Marion Jewell, anb SiHtant Past Helen Cotton, Mrs. T.
