THE LAME WHITE DOG
A visitor, but not a stranger to
Tryon, who is greatly enjoying a
brief stay in this beautiful region,
has been noticing, and considering,
the probable fate of the young
white dog of questionable pedigree,
which is roaming our streets. He
may be homeless by choice, for
there are dog tramps as well as
human ones, but it is more likely
tnat ne iouna no love at nome, ana
bones without affection are poor
fare for dogs or men. Several of
our residents are feeding him, for
one cannot let an animal starve,
but since no one seems willing to
adopt him, is it not mistaken kind
ness to confirm him in his begging?
Opinions differ as to his dispo
sition. Most of us have found him
friendly, but wary, doubtless due
to the auto accident which has
partly crippled him, and to his
pitiful uncertainty as to the good
or bad intentions of those who
stop to speak to him. Not a
menace now, he could, however,
easily become one. The thoughtless
kick of some child might cause
him to retaliate, and our present
indifference to his fate would cer
tainly change overnight to a de
mand for punishment. Before this
happens, and not afterwards, is the
time to take understanding action,
if only for public protection.
Since there is no branch, locally,
of the Humane Society, to And
him a Mlaster, or else peacefully
send him to a kinder world for
homeless animals, there should at
least be representation here in
Tryon of the nearest S. P. C. A., to
whom such helpless strays as this
white dog eould be referred. What
