A Dog's Queer Tanta and Town Tale
An odd Bristol, Massachusetts anecdote appears in a Philadelphia record about a tobacco-chewing dog aged over ten. The pup supposedly began chewing tobacco as a puppy and shares meals with its owner. The owner notes the dog never turns down a chew if present and would be alarmed if forgotten, while the dog entertains guests with a curious habit and appears to “tie with beat dy Ws pea” in a strange, humorous scene.

Ear Size Changes Across Life, Says 19th Century Study
