Canine College Has Some Star Pupils in Hollywood

A SCHOOL—the only one of its kind in the world—where dogs are instructed in the best methods of living amicably with their owners, with other human beings and with their fellow-dogs, has been established in Hollywood, California, and rewarded, in the few months of its existence, with an attendance of more than 200 four-footed pupils. No “tricks” are taught, and the animals are not prepared for motion picture work. They are started on how to stand, how to walk, how to sit, how to lie down, how to go up and down stairs, how to open and close doors, how to go through open windows and over fences and walls.

Can Humans Breed With Animals?

Facts and fantasy about human-animal mating.

By Charles F. Mayer, Ph.D., J.D.

Throughout the ages, man has speculated about the possibility of copulating with animals, impregnating them, and, as a result, begetting offspring.

This subject has fascinated philosophers, theologians, scientists, poets, authors, and ordinary mortals for countless centuries; nevertheless, up to the present moment, there does not yet appear to be even one shred of scientifically-acceptable evidence that human beings and animals are able to mate successfully.
