Mr Sherlock Holmes was sitting one morning at the breakfast table in his room in Baker Street. His friend Dr Watson was standing near the window, examining a walking stick which a visitor had left the day before. "To Dr Mortimer, from his friend," was written upon it, and the date was 1884. Sherlock Holmes suddenly turned to Watson and said, "The owner of this stick has a dog which is larger than a terrier and smaller than a mastiff." Watson was surprised and asked, "How do you know?"
"I examined that stick carefully and noticed the marks of a dog's teeth on it," answered Holmes. They were too broad for a terrier and not broad enough for a mastiff. I suppose the dog often carried the stick behind its master. I suppose it was a spaniel."
