1930 The Saloon in the Home

WISER THAN HIS MASTER A LERT" was a dog With a well-earned fame, Who was owned by a nobleman Proud or his name.

He would sit on the step, When the dinner-bell rang, Till he spied his master When up he sprang. He took him his wine In a glass, on a tray; But "Alert" never touched it I'm happy tg say!
