James White has two dogs. One is a Newfoundland dog, and the other is a Scotch terrier.

The Newfoundland is a large, noble fellow. He is black, with a white spot, and with long, shaggy hair.His name is Sport.

Sport is a good watchdog, and a kind playfellow. Every night heguards the house while James and his father are asleep.

In the daytime, James often uses Sport for his horse. He has a little wagon, and a set of small harness which just fts the dog.

He hitches Sport to this wagon, and drives over the country. In this way, he can go almost as fast as his father with the old family horse.

The name of James's Scotch terrier is Dodger. He is called Dodger because he jumps about so friskily.He is up on a chair, under the table, behind the door, down cellar, and out in the yard，-all in a minute.

Dodger has very bright eyes, and he does many funny things. He likes to put his paws up on the crib, and watch the baby.

The other day he took baby's red stocking, and had great fun with it；but he spoiled it in his play, and James had to scold him.

Everyone likes to see James White with his two dogs. They always seem very happy together.

詹姆士·懷特養了兩條狗。一條是紐芬蘭狗，一條是蘇格蘭狗。

紐芬蘭狗是一條巨大的貴族狗，黑色的皮膚上夾雜著白色斑點，毛發又長又蓬松，它的名字叫斯波特。

斯波特是一條很好的看門狗，也是一個友善的游伴。每天夜里，當詹姆士與他的父親睡著時，它就負責看守房屋。

白天的時候，詹姆士讓斯波特去當牧馬犬。他有一輛小馬車，和一套為這條狗量身定做的馬具。

他給斯波特套上馬車，趕著它走在鄉間。就這樣，他能和騎著一匹老馬奔馳的父親跑得一樣快。

蘇格蘭狗的名字叫多德格爾。它之所以叫多德格爾，是因為它總是歡快地跳來跳去，就像被人追一樣，在椅子上、桌子下、門后面、地下室、院子里四處跑動。

多德格爾有非常明亮的眼睛，它干過許多有趣的事。它喜歡用爪子扒著嬰兒床，看著寶寶。

前幾天它叼走了寶寶的紅襪子，而且玩得很開心；但是它玩的時候把它弄臟了，詹姆士不得不責備它。

每個人都喜歡見到詹姆士·懷特與他的兩條狗。他們在一起時看上去很開心。
