PESTH.
CANINE CONNOISSEUR.
At a most respectable house at Pesth, where a great deal of music is played, there is a dog, who, unlike his brother dogs, has a great fancy for music. But the most singular part of the story is, that this animal delights only in listening to the performance of Mozart’s, Haydn’s, Weber’s, or Spohr’s music. If such a piece is played, he lays his head upon his two fore paws, listens attentively, and now and then suffers a sigh of emotion to escape him. But when he hears a composition by Rossini, Auber, Herold, &c., he whines and howls most pitifully, as any other dog would on hearing music.—From the Allgemeiner Musikalischer Anzeiger.
