    The one absolutely unselfish friend that man has in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only to be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince.
    If fortune drives his master forth in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger. And when that last scene comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there, by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true, even in death.
