A Man’s Best Friend” Not For Sale: Thoroughbred Fox Hounds Ralph Carson has many best friends if the saying “A dog is man’s best friend” is true and from all indications this has been proven time after time. He is the proud owner of fourteen of the best bred fox hounds in this part of the country. Fox hunting is a great thrill and during season he and his sons are often out at night with the dogs running foxes. According to the owner, he doubts if anyone can find a better lot of dogs than the ones he keeps in his doghouse. They are all throughbreds and their total cost would amount to quite a tidy sum if they were put on the market for sale. Incidentally the dogs are not for sale. He considers his dogs as members of his family. Having dogs is quite a lot of fun and pleasure but in the end you pay for all of this. The dogs are fed over a ton of bones and meat per year besides two tons of dog food. The cost of the dog food alone is nine dollars per hundred pounds. Ralph Carson and his wife live out in the country on Route 1 and this enables him to keep this many dogs. He and his entire family are dog lovers and take a lot of interest in his many dogs. He invites anyone interested in dogs to come out and look over his fine collection.
