ESSAY-JUST A DOG

The best friend a man has in
the world may turn against him
and become his enemy. His son
or daughter that he reared with
loving care may prove ungrateful.
Those who are nearest and dear
est to us; those whom we trust
with our happiness and our good
name, may become traitors. The
money a man has he may lose. It
flies away from him, perhaps,
when he needs it most. A mans
reputation may be sacrificed in a
moment of ill-conSidered action.
The people who are praying to
fall on their knees to do us honor,
when success is with us, may be
the first to throw the story of
prosperity when failure settles it's
cloud upon our heads. The one
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. A mans dog stands by
him in prosperity and poverty, in
health and sickness. He will sleep
on the cold grave where the cold
winds blow and the snow drives
fiercely, if only he may be near
his masters side. He will kiss the
hand that has no food to offer;
and he will lick the wounds and
sores that are encountered 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 man,
the dog remains true to him. When
riches take wings and reputation,
the dog is as constant in his love
as the sun in its journey through
the heavens.
II misfortune drives the master
forth as an outcaSt into the world,
friendlesS and homeless, the faith
full dog asks no higher privilege
than that of accompanying him
to guard against danger: to fight
against his enemies; and when the
last scene of all comes, and death
takes the master in it's embrace,
and his body is laid away in the
cold ground, no matter if all other
friends pursue their way, there by
the graveSide will the noble dog be
framed, his head between his paws,
his eyes sad, but open in alert
WatchfulnesS, faithful and true
even in death.
