Dog9a Smart TrickAn old hunter says that on one occasion a small dog belonging to him chased and caught up with a very large raccoon. The dog flew at his enemy and tried to shake him, but the raccoon, being quick, caught the dog by the side of the head.His teeth were sharp and his hold firm, so that the dog found It Impossible to break loose. Suddenly, as if a bright idea had occurred to him, the dog began to drag the raccoon into a neighboring creek.Once in the water the dog held the raccoon under the surface, adroitly keeping his own nose out, until the raccoon released his grip. Then the dog easily mastered the half-drowned animal.
