The Faithful Dog
by Senator West
The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have, in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is the dog.

A man's 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 lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince.

When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love, as the sun in its journey through the heavens. If fortune drives the master forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies; and when death takes the master in its embrace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there, by the side of his grave will the noble dog be found; his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness faithful and true, even to death."

We are so lucky to have them!
