A Dog's Vision
By TOM FARLEY
A QUESTION which readers fre-,
A. quently ask us is. “How well
can a dog see?" The answer, ac j
cording to McDowell Lyon, well-
known dog writer. Is—dogs can
see everything we do but not as
we do.
Lyon, who has done a series ot
articles on the canine five senses
for the American Kennel Gazette,
reports that while dogs are ex
tremely sensitive to outline and
motion, they cannot distinguish de
tails or Identify Individual colors
He oases his contention that
dogs cannot identify colors on the
results of sight experiments made
by the late Dr. Hugh Morgan with
a test group of 12 dogs In these
tests, each dog was conditioned to
find a pan of food hidden behind
one of four swinging doors. Once
the dog had learned to push past
the right door to the food, Morgan
employed a colored disc to mark
that door. In a rhort time, the dog
would go directly to the door thus
marked.
Morgan then placed discs of dif-
ferent colors on the other three
doors as well. When all four doors
had markers, the dog was confused
and showed all evidence of being
color blind.
Next, markers of other shapes
besides the round disc were used
The dog was always able to pick
out the circle from among the other
sliaiies. But when two circles Were
used, with a small triangle Imposed
on one, the dog experienceu the
same confusion he did with colors
He could not detect the Inner
detail of the circle
Hunting and held dogs perhaps
best demonstrate the canine ability
to ( motion A Held trial dog Is
worked in wide open country and
handled from horseback, often at
as great a distance as six hundred
yards from his handler Yet he will
respond to hand and riding signals
even when he is a mere blur on
the far horizon On a hot windless
day when there Is no scent trail
for him to follow the hunting dog
can locate a squirrel a dozen trees
away, high up in the foliage How
does he detect the game'’ Often
by a slight flicker of the squirrel s
tail, that the human eye would
never notice.
For the dog owner who wants
to make an experiment of his own
with his pet's vision, Lyon suggests
the following test: some time when
your dog is in the yard or in his
kennel, approach him from an un-
usual direction, walking into the
wind so as to shorten his range
of scent. Change your usual out-
line in some radical fashion, such
as pulling down your hat at an odd
angle, dropping a shoulder or walk-
ing with a limp. Don't hide any
part of your face and don't speak
to the dog.
When lie first sights you, your
dog will bark or growl as though
he were looking ut a stranger.
Walk slowly up to him You will
lind that you will be practically
on top of him before he Anally
recognizes you.
Timely Tips
Use baked sweet potatoes for
pies.
Baked sweet potatoes have
many uses and they are high in
energy value and vitamins; also
a fair source of minerals.
A pie crust is easier to make
and results are better, if all the
ingredients are cool.
In making custard pies, bake at
a high temperature for about 10
minutes to prevent soggy crust.
Then finish baking at a low tem-
perature.
