DEAR PUGGY.

DEAR PUGGY.

F all the pets to love and hug
The nicest is a little Pug.
With velvet nose
And nimble toes,
He’s always ready for a run
He’s always full of play and fun.

He'll sit, and ‘“ Lady calling” play,
And “shake hands” in the nicest way
With Lady Poll,
My biggest doll.
And when we walk out in the street
In every race he’s sure to beat!

Oh you'ld believe me, if you knew
A little cunning Puggy too;
And you'ld agree
I think with me,—
Of all the pets to love and hug,
The nicest is a darling Pug!
Llizabeth S. Tucker.
