If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.'' --Cowboy saying, courtesy of Provincial Archives of Alberta.'' Poor Whisky filled the place of the ancient domestic jester; one look at him dispelled melancholy; every movement he made was a farce. With his cunningly timorous countenance and sleekly rounded body, he was a true Sancho Panza of dogs.'' --James Carnegie, Earl of Southesk [410-osl]; 8vo - over 7ž'' - 9ž'' tall.
