Hadn't you better take out the goldfish? asked Mr. Fleet.

Some of them may be hurt if Toto jumps in.
human
No, I think not, said Joe.

The tank is big enough for them to swim out of the way, and if the trick goes I'll want the dog used to the fish in the water, so he might as well begin with them.
human
Yes, assented the trainer.

I don't suppose you'd dare use a cat in an act like this, even if you could get her to go into the water, which most cats hate. She'd eat the goldfish.
human
I'm afraid so! laughed Joe.

But say! that would be a stunt, wouldn't it? A diving cat! That would create a sensation, but I guess it couldn't be done. I've heard of diving horses and diving bears, but never of a diving cat. Well, we won't bother about that now.
