"The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have, in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, that one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog.
A mans dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in health and in sickness. He'll sleep on the cold ground where wintry winds blow and snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his masters side.
He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his paupermaster as if he wore a prince. When all other friend desert, he remains. When riches take wing and reputation falls to pieces, he's as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens."
-Senator George Vest, 1870
We miss you boys!
