Whether lor not ha) fraternized with his cousins the wolves and the coyotes can not be known certainly. No doubt he lived as they live, at the expense of young and weaker deer and elk, nnd smaller prey. Probably lie lived alone, against nil anltmil. kind as they were against him. There are well-authentl-cated Instances ot dogs thus returning to savage nuturo. It spenks well for, his tenndty'and strength that, alone of his kind in n country, whore all kinds of wild animals live still their natural lives, he survived.' He may: have been a dog of good pedigree. Anyway, tho. dog had been seen at intervals for several years nnd -was SfBclnlly .classed among the anlnpals hlch, alone of nil Yellowstone's ani-' mills, aro sought and killed because, destructive of the bnrmlpss animate which make of this national park the best-populated wild-animal preserve In the world. ... .

When the wotinded gnme.broke nway and was lost, these good-nosed dogs were used In trailing the quarry by the blood trail, nnd hence they were Anally called bloodhounds.
