The one absolutely unselish friend that
man can have in this selfish world, the one
that never deserts him. the one that never
proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog.
mans dog stands by him in prosperity
and in poverty. in health and in sickness.
He will sleep on the cold ground, where the
wintry winds blow and the snow drives
fiercely. if only he may be near his master S
side. He will kiss the hand that has no
food to offer; he will Eek the wounds and
sores that come in encounter with the
roughness of the world. He guards the
sleep of his pauper master as if he were a
prince. When all other friends desert, he
remains. When riches take wings and repu-
tation falls to pieces. he is as constant in
his love as the in its journeys through
the heavens.-George G. Vest.
