'This is quite a readable little work, and if one cannot agree with what is written on the mental understanding of dogs and the hypnotic force described by M. Souplet, credit must be given to the compilers where the medical part is concerned. By founding the Canine Nurses' Institute Mrs Leuty Collins has done a real service to dog owners in London, and it is only within the last few years that owners and breeders have realised the comfort of having a trained nurse in cases of sickeness in their kennels. The qualifications of patience and the care of animals are naturally needed for the making of a good nurse, and without true sympathy and affection no one would have the patience aor endurance to nurse a long and arduous case. The profession of canine nursing is gaining popularity; it has already been taken up by competent and clever women and girls, and perusal of the little book issued on behalf of Mrs Collins's Nurses' Institute convinces us that every womanly characteristic can find a splendid opportunity in the work undertaken by its members. As yet the profession is new; it cannot be doubted that it is a worthy one.'
