Abstract
DM is told here in traditional fashion. This dog even bites one of the cows on the nose – and the artist has him wear a bandage in the next image. The fable here, in unusual fashion, describes what people mean by calling someone a dog in the manger: someone not allowing others to use what someone cannot use oneself. The stated moral is "A dog in the manger is not liked by anybody." The moral page has a standard setting throughout this Series #9: a monkey hanging from a branch points to the moral. Dogs in Thailand apparently do not voice "bow wow" but rather "hok hok." The publisher's symbol seems to be two purple heads reading an open red book. There is a page of vocabulary on the inside back cover, with a picture of all six books in the series on the back cover. The pamphlet is twelve pages long, about 7½" x 6¾".
