He Could Badly Nip a Toe…or Something

I don't have much to comment on this one, but it was just too much fun to not post. So, here it is, a political cartoon reacting to a New York leash law. This appeared in the *Evening World* on June 24, 1908.

An editorial suggesting that the requirement that dogs be leashed was overreacting just a tad wouldn't have had as much power. That said, I've seen many dogs of all sizes in New York City, none of which have had muzzles. No sign of dog catchers seizing the dogs to destroy them either.

Even the clearly vicious ones like the one in the cartoon.
