Atlanta Woman
Relates Story
Of Favorite Dog
Can a dog think? Do they under
stand the spoken human voice? An
Atlanta woman, Mrs. T. W. (Annie
Lee) Moore, 1603 Lakewood Ave.,
S. E., believes in the affirmative to
both questions and cites proof in a
story about her favorite dog.
Mrs. Moore’s story, third received
in response to requests for interest
ing tales about pets from Progress
Argus readers is as follows, as she
relates it.
“Woco Pep”, an untrained German
Shepherd who belongs to a neighbor
two doors below us was my favorite
dog. Mr. Cole, the owner, came up
very often to play bridge with our
folks on our front porch. I never
played but read quite a good bit.
My eyes were very bad, always had
to wear thick glasses and often spoke
kindly to the dog while the bridge
game was in progress.
Will never know how Woco ever
discovered that my sight was bad but
whenever I’d start out to the grocery
store he’d invariably conie along and
stand outside the store until I came
out, then escort me back home. One
day I started out, the dog joining
me as usual. Well, now, I decided
to see if he really understood the
English language. Without raising
my voice, I said ‘‘Now Woco, I’m
off to spend the day and you can’t
go with me”. I noticed he stopped.
I walked on about 20 steps then
looked back. He was a picture of the
most forlorn dog you ever saw. Head
down, he was still standing in his
tracks. I laughed; Woco looked up
