'Seven fatalities and three divorces were caused directly in 1933 by affection for men and women for their dogs, a report released by the Chappel Kennel Foundation here reveals.

Three persons - one a ten year old girl - were killed in attempts to save pets from various forms of disaster. Two dog owners killed men for injuring their pets and one man committed suicide because his dog had died.

The foundation report, compounded annually in an effort to trace the effects upon human nature of sentiment for animal pets, shows that three women divorced their husbands because of jealousy over affection given to dogs. A Pittsburgh man took a six-month sentence rather than obey a court order to kill his dog.

Shot in Quarrel

One man was shot in a quarrel over a dog's pedigree and a 13-year-old boy was killed while crossing a railroad track on a visit to the grave of his dog.

Not all manifestations of this powerful love for animal friends brought tragedy in its wake. A wealthy Idaho sheep raiser furnished laughter when he rented an entire floor of 28 rooms in a Chicago hotel rather than obey an order to confine his dog to one room.'
