"I have -every sympathy with t-he motoriso when it comes to dogs straying on the road in front of cars, •' remarked a Napier resident tq a Daily Teiegraph representative, "but," he continued, "what I do object to- is the callous way in Avhich mo-tor drivers carry on AArhen an 11 11 fortunate dog doea happen to get it in the neck. I, mvself, last a va.luable dog in this Avay reoently, and when the mishap oecurred tlie animal's cries Avere loud enough to be heard a long way off. This didn't upset the woman driving tlie ca-r, however. She continued gailv on, and if I liad been carry ing a gun at th-e time L -am sure I should havo heen tempted to puncture lier back tyres and thus compel- her to stop. Some motor drivers can be absolute pigs if they like," he concluded bitt&rly.
