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·怀特养了两条狗。一条是纽芬兰狗，一条是苏格兰狗。

纽芬兰狗是一条巨大的贵族狗，黑色的皮肤上夹杂着白色斑点，毛发又长又蓬松，它的名字叫斯波特。

斯波特是一条很好的看门狗，也是一个友善的游伴。每天夜里，当詹姆士与他的父亲睡着时，它就负责看守房屋。

白天的时候，詹姆士让斯波特去当牧马犬。他有一辆小马车，和一套为这条狗量身定做的马具。

他给斯波特套上马车，赶着它走在乡间。就这样，他能和骑着一匹老马奔驰的父亲跑得一样快。

苏格兰狗的名字叫多德格尔。它之所以叫多德格尔，是因为它总是欢快地跳来跳去，就像被人追一样，在椅子上、桌子下、门后面、地下室、院子里四处跑动。

多德格尔有非常明亮的眼睛，它干过许多有趣的事。它喜欢用爪子扒着婴儿床，看着宝宝。

前几天它叼走了宝宝的红袜子，而且玩得很开心；但是它玩的时候把它弄脏了，詹姆士不得不责备它。

每个人都喜欢见到詹姆士·怀特与他的两条狗。他们在一起时看上去很开心。
