  • AThe best friend a man has in this world may turn against him become his enemy. His son or daughter whom he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest dearest to us, those whom we trust withour happiness our good name, may become traitors to their faith.The money that a man has he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man’s reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action.The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. The one absolute, unselfish friend a man may have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog.A man’s dog stands byhim in prosperity in poverty, in health in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground when the wintry winds blow the snow drives fiercely, if only he can be near his master’s side. He will kiss the hthat has no food to offer. He will lick the sores wounds that come in the encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper as if he were a prince.When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. If fortune drives the forth, an outcastin the world, friendless homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies. when the last scene of all comes death takes its in its embrace the body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulnessfaithful true even to death.A man’s best friend will never turn against him become his enemy.aTruebFalsecNot Given
