Animal Heroes

Ernest Thompson Seton

Had
not
his
foot
gone
through
the
wire
netting
and
held
him,
I
might
have
been
hurt,
for
his
heart
was
evidently
in
his
work;
but
I
stepped
on
the
table
out
of
reach
and
tried
to
reason
with
him.
I
have
always
believed
in
talking
to
animals.
I
maintain
that
they
gather
something
of
our
intention
at
least,
even
if
they
do
not
understand
our
words;
but
the
Dog
evidently
put
me
down
for
a
hypocrite
and
scorned
my
approaches.
At
first
he
took
his
post
under
the
table
and
kept
up
a
circular
watch
for
a
leg
trying
to
get
down.
I
felt
sure
I
could
have
controlled
him
with
my
eye,
but
I
could
not
bring
it
to
bear
where
I
was,
or
rather
where
he
was;
thus
I
was
left
a
prisoner.
I
am
a
very
cool
person,
I
flatter
myself;
in
fact,
I
represent
a
hardware
firm,
and,
in
coolness,
we
are
not
excelled
by
any
but
perhaps
the
nosy
gentlemen
that
sell
wearing-apparel.
I
got
out
a
cigar
and
smoked
tailor-style
on
the
table,
while
my
little
tyrant
below
kept
watch
for
legs.
I
got
out
the
telegram
and
read
it:
"Remarkable
pup.
Be
polite
to
him;
it's
safer."
I
think
it
was
my
coolness
rather
than
my
politeness
that
did
it,
for
in
half
an
hour
the
growling
ceased.
