Abstract
I HAVE been reading with great interest the letters and discussions lately published in NATURE, on intellect in brutes. However, in none of them have I found any notice of a dog recognising a painted likeness of his master or any member of the family. I have seen, in other publications on this subject, that “this is one of the things a dog has never been known to do.” During my residence in Cornwall I had a most intelligent and faithful dog for fifteen years. I had him when a month old. His mother was a beautiful liver-coloured spaniel, rather large; his father a black Newfoundland; my dog took after him in colour and shape.
