- There was a man long ago who had a very good dog. This dog was fond of fighting and when he saw another dog his hair bristled. The man liked his dog very much but unfortunate Ely the dog died. The man skinned the animal and preserved the skin. He made a vest from it which he wore constantly. Whenever he met a dog the hairs on his vest used to bristle.
