The Fox Terrier is a small black and white disturbance which afflicts and delights many families. The Fox Terrier has straight legs, an active expressive face, a lean well shaped head, talkative eyes, and a nose which leads him from one misdemeanor to another. Originally, he had a liberal tail, but it has been edited and revised by man. This was done because when a Fox Terrier's tail is as active as his head, it took two people to watch him.

The Fox Terrier is a house pet, and is clean and dainty in his habits. He lives on meat, milk, potatoes, mice, old shoes, curtains, books, hats and tablecloths. In return for this diet he guards the house with unremitting ferocity.  No burglar can come near without dislodging an eruption of  barks from the faithful brute.  He also guards the house against all cats, dogs, taxicabs, late pedestrians, dead leaves and moonbeams which may chance to pass at night.
