As a puppy, he saw that he was going to lead a dog's life - unless he stopped being a dog. So he began to act like a human being. At least, that's the way his owners figured it. What dog, for instance, would climb ladders and walk the tops of fences? What dog would dive for crayfish or hobnob with skunks? Or insist on wearing motoring goggles in the car? Why, only Mutt - a canine character whose extraordinary exploits are really 'doggone' funny." I am by no means an expert, so please feel free to ask plenty of questions.
